File load times for Firefox 9.0.1 are about 6 seconds (page has some php code) but IE is instant. If I change the link from localhost to 127.0.0.1 Firefox will load instantly as well.

I've made the changes recommended here

I've uncommented out the following line in my C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost

But no luck.I've tried seting network.dns.disableIPv6 to true with no luck.

Any other ideas?

  • I closed down Dreamweaver and lo and behold the changes took effect. Possibly Dreamweaver was interfering. Anyway, things are instant now. – mseifert Jan 07 '12 at 23:43

For Firefox 94: Including answers mentioned above: When using Firefox in private mode, try disabling private mode.

Set "Always create chronic" (1st Option) in Settings > Privacy & Security > Chronic.

Seems like a problem with you browser's DNS settings.

Try using this DNS service (it's free)

https://store.opendns.com/setup/

Also clear your DNS cache in firefox:

Mozilla Firefox (Win & Mac)
Go to the Tools menu, select Clear Recent History and check all boxes. Under Time range to >clear select Everything (except passwords, if desired) and click Clear Now.

And maybe also on your windows:

Run->cmd and type in: ipconfig /flushdns

    If you're looking for quick and easy to remember DNS, Google's are at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. No setup required – Basic Jan 08 '12 at 02:05
