Mac sites take forever to load

The last couple weeks Firefox has been unbearably slow. Sites take up to a minute to load. I thought it was a problem with beta 36. So I deleted the app and removed the profiles from ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder> ~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder> I installed the stable 35.0.1 app and didn't install any addons and the problem persists. At this point I would assume it's an ISP issue, but Chrome works fine.

Any suggestions?

Try to disable IPv6 (check for other possible causes as well).

This resolved the issue. Thank you for your help. I'm curious why this only recently became an issue.
