It could be a DNS problem I suppose. Attach an strace to the firefox process and see if it's getting stuck on a system call.
I ran an strace as you suggested; it's the first time I've used strace, so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. It did appear to hang on a call. Again, I'm not sure what to look for. I can attach or send an strace if that'd be helpful -- would you be able to suggest flags or a method of reading the output that might make it more clear?
I don't think I have a DNS problem -- firefox loads a start page just fine. When I try to input text into anything (the address bar, google quick search, options menu, etc) for the first time, it hangs. After that, it's smooth sailing untill I close the program and start it again. The behavior is 100% reproducible...
I experienced the exact same behaviour when I had mistakenly firewalled off my "l0" port on my linux i386 machine. I would check that "l0" port is still active and working with "ifconfig -a". Also check if you have any iptables rules that are applied on l0 instead of your eth0/wlan0 connections.
But you said that it is an iBook so I am not sure if powerPC will have the same problem.
