I have recently moved to the Mac environment.  I have been happy with the load speed of most sites.  However, we have become users of www.constantcontact.com and I am using www.linkedin.com a lot.  What I have found is that pages on these sites are extremely slow to load (you go away and do something else). I thought it might be a bandwidth issue between Australian and the US as the Australian sites loaded ok.  I then experimented with other use information site, such as www.accenture.com, www.pmg.net, www.compuware.com, www.cnn.com (a variety of type of sites and size of company) and they loaded ok.  I then loaded Parrallel for Windows on the Mac and loaded IE for the troublesome sites and they were loading very quickly, which then made me think there is an issue with the Mac version of Firefox and webservices type pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.any moving within the names sites.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
Load but can take minutes.
