By way of an update on that... not running any dns caching (nscd, dnsmasq, pdnsd, bind9) disabled firefox's built in dns caching (http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-555-disabling-the-dns-cache-of-mozilla-firefox) manually specified the dns server (TPG .au) also tried name servers from opendns.com
Not surprisingly this slows things down in general (so I assume its worked). However I still can't view my linkedin contacts list or invite new contacts. I can at least login now - but its certainly not a solution. No idea what to look at next :-? -- linkedin very slow on Firefox Linux only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
