@maple Yeah it's proper bloody weird. I thought it was just my setup too. D: But yeah on booting up after power off, it genuinely takes like 5 minutes to actually do anything with the internet. Everything ELSE on my computer will happily connect, load images, data, whatever. Firefox just sits there doing naff all no matter what tab I open.
then five minutes later it goes "OH RIGHT, THE INTERNET, SHIT I FORGOT" and everything starts working. -.-;
