Sometimes when I try to go to a site firefox goes really slow and says "looking for {whatever}.com" in the bar at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes it just times out. Then I can hit reload and the page pops right up.

Please let me know if this is something I can fix. I'm on a mac

Try to disable IPv6 in Firefox, see:

I had speed issue with Firefox too. I found that doing what they say at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites#IPv6 really solved the problem.

Here is what they say in short:

To disable IPv6, change the preference network.dns.disableIPv6 from "false" to true . Here are the steps: 

   Type about:config in the address bar, press Enter.
   Find network.dns.disableIPv6 in the list.
   Right-click -> Toggle.
   Restart your Mozilla application and try again.

If this doesn't work, you can re-enable IPv6 by resetting the preference to "false" (double-click to toggle).
