Personally I found that ff3 was slow all the time. The site you give and all the rest load fine here - open a terminal and run
If you get an output you could try to disable ipv6, if there is no output it is disabled.Code:ip a | grep inet6
Loads very well here.

MedellinManDem, what is your setup. Ubuntu? Which Firefox? Which addons are you running? Etc.... the more info we get the faster we can help you.
forestpixie, why disable ipv6? And what is your setup? Seems strange FF should be slow all the time since it really is known to be at least the second fastest browser out there.
