Firefox is very slow (minutes, really) to load web pages to the point where I have time to go open another browser (generally chrome) and cut/paste the url to see whether it is a network problem or not. So far Chrome has been able to load the pages very quickly while Firefox takes several minutes. Additionally I will get occasional "Connection Reset" errors. I was suspicious of browser add-ons, anti-malware software etc on my system so I've unstalled everything (except Sophos) and the bits which come with Windows7 (64bit). I uninstalled Firefox, deleting all user settings, browser history, etc and reinstalled a fresh copy. This didn't affect the problem. I have gone through the hints in the performace faq, set the proxy setting to no proxy, turned off ipv6 dns and dns prefetching and the problems exist. I'm happy to try and help track this down but I don't really know where to start. '''bold text'''
