Can you collect an HTTP log?

Please also try a trunk build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

Additional info:

The same problem was happening with Opera

Then I installed Ubuntu and the same machine, and firefox (v 1.0.7 that comes with the installationN) works fine.

I've got the same problem : it takes two minutes to load slashdot.org on an asus with celeron 2Ghz / 1.5Go of ram under win xp SP1 connexion ADSL 2Mbit
I tried the web page speed report at 
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://slashdot.org
and it find a total size of 32924 bytes and a 26 seconds download time (at 14400 bauds) there really might be a problem with mozilla

Al, does the problem persist with a trunk build?  (comment 1)

tech, is your problem gone?

Comment 6

[Al]

Long story short, I don't have this machine anymore.

Comment 7

[Andrew Schultz]

OK, resolving WFM.
tech, if you're still seeing this with a recent build, please file a new bug.

Now, every browsing session is so slow under Linux, with mozilla, Seamonkey or Firefox, that I don't use them anymore. when I need fast internet, I use Ms Explorer on Windows XP
