Firefox slowing down

[Ed Fletcher]

Firefox seems to have slowed down lately.  It often takes quite a while 
to load a page and some pages never finish loading.  This behavior only 
started in the last couple of days, so I'm wondering if it is related to 
a recent update of something or other via Synaptic.

Or is there just some DNS weirdness going on that is killing some sites 
but not others?  For instance, Slashdot loads up quickly, but (just to 
drive you all insanely jealous) the Chocolatefest page 
(http://www.chocolatefest.ca/) doesn't.

Is anyone else seeing the same things?
