    disabled ipv6, firefox STILL really slow.

    hi guys, since upgrading my system a couple of weeks ago to 2.6.35-24-generic, my internet speeds have been painfully slow. i'm running 10.10 64-bit, GNOME 2.32.0. i'm using firefox and i've read a million times about disabling the ipv6 through the about:config menu and changing a few other settings but nothing works. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and the problem still persists. i've disabled ipv6 through the terminal and still nothing works. i've even tried google chrome and still nothing. i also use opendns if this makes any difference?

    i use a dual boot system with windows 7 and i have no problems at all with that, its actually really fast using windows 7, so what am i doing wrong?

    thank you.

    The issue might be due to lots of temp files on your computer.

    Try installing the Bleachbit software and clean all the unwanted temp files on the computer and check if you have the issue.

    ok, so i've tried using Bleachbit and firefox is still slow.

    is there some sort of command i can type so you can see exactly what my internet settings are?
