I get a brief delay of about 10 seconds. Page loads and is functional.
Have tried locationbar with doomworld, google, sourceforge. Pages loaded with
minimal delay.

WFM.

No particular change identified as resolving this so WFM.

As far as I see the functionality has changed- therefore I had classified as fixed. Doesn't really matter though...
