If you're using Chromium I ran into a similar problem with my Xubuntu machine where I had to close every tab manually (you can't just close the browser) and finally Chromium itself before I was able to access the website again. If not, have you tried another browser from within the Xubuntu machine?

I'm hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on what might be going on and how I can go about fixing it. On Wednesday morning, I attempted to go to <a href="http://www.schneier.com" target="_blank">www.schneier.com</a> from my Xubuntu box (this is the website of security expert Bruce Schneier). I've been to the site many times with no problem at all. But, as of Wednesday morning, I can't access the site at all. Today, I thought it might be a problem with my network so I attempted to access the website from another computer. It worked! So the problem seems to specifically be based on my Xubuntu 12.04 machine and I don't know how to resolve it. I've checked in the /etc/hosts file to make sure nothing was there and everything is fine. I've checked my firewall 'just in case'. No problems. I'm at my wits end trying to resolve this. Any ideas?
