this is a video showing the issue http://buildengineer.com/firefox/20120607_1608_14.rar things I have tried:

  • ) restarting w/cleared cache
  • ) removing addons
  • ) restarting in safe mode ( this speeds thing up quite a bit, but it is still spinning)

hello, thanks for reporting with your system details. please enter about:config into the location bar, search for the preference named "network.http.keep-alive" and toggle it to the default value (=true). this should speed up things again.

we had some reports from other users that google.com & twitter.com had problems loading. firefox 13 shipped with support for the SPDY protocol & google uses that on some of its secure websites - atm there seems to be a bug in firefox with SPDY enabled and network.http.keep-alive set to false, which is still under investigation...
