Firefox very slow on Fedora 10

[abhishek sharma]

 I am running Fedora 10 on my system with a 256 kbps broadband
connection, using Firefox 3.0. the Internet seems to run very slow on
Fedora.

 While on Ubuntu it just works fine, I have not been able to figure
out any reason for this.

 Can anybody help me here??

Drop a file inside /etc/modprobe.d with the line

install ipv6 /bin/true

Then check. This disables IPv6.

Still using FF 3.0, dude FF 3.5 is out, switch to it, it is awesome.
It uses html 5 and some really cool features.

How can one be sure that it is an issue with IPv6? Also, will this hack not
affect other applications/services?

FF3.5 doesn't use HTML 5, it supports the standard. Yes it does render JS
remarkably faster due to optimizations in the JS VM.

One cannot be. That is why I asked him to check.

I doubt the presence of IPv6 matters much yet.
