Why is Firefox so slow on "looking for..." phase?
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).
