Every so often when I click on a link I get 'looking for <url>' in the bottom toolbar and then the browser times out. Clicking try again will sometimes bring the page up but more often then not I have to close the browser completely then open and try again. This works 99.9% of the time to then bring the page up. These pages/sites are common/popular sites and the occurances are totally random. Its as though it doesn't communicate/resolve properly with DNS

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.its random and just requires a click on a web link within a page or selection of a link from bookmarks 
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
timeout

Expected Results:  
new page/site displayed

Do you use a firewall or a proxy and did you try to run Firefox in the firefox safemode ?
