Did you do what I suggested to disable IPv6 for Firefox? If so, does it
improve things?

As mention previously, to disable IPv6 add
ipv6.disable=1
to the boot options. To do that
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
search for the line containing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, which should
look like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
change it to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1"
Save the file, quit gedit and do
sudo update-grub
and reboot.
