I have the exact same problem. Firefox had timeouts and extremely long
hangs loading pages. I did not test other GUI apps. However, I could
use the terminal to run updates (apt-get).
By chance, I found this behavior was linked to wireless security. Once
I removed all my wireless security, web browsing worked normally. I
tried using both WEP 128 bit encryption, and WPA2. I had the same issue
both times, pages (namely ubuntu.com) would not load or would hang
somewhere along the way.
PERHAPS THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR MIGHT KNOW A BETTER PACKAGE HINT, AS I AM NOT TECH SAVVY ENOUGH TO
SUGGEST THE CORRECT ONE.
