Slow in Firefox but superfast in Opera/Chrome

    This one has me stumped.

    Just swapped hosts. All of a sudden site is taking at least 20 seconds to load a page in Firefox but lightening fast in Opera/Chrome.

    This is a across multiple PCs with addons disabled and enabled.

    Tried a new install of Firefox but is exactly the same.

    Anyone experience this before? What makes FF different?

    Install Firebug and YSlow on Firefox and activate them while the page is loading. Between the two of them you should be able to figure out what's slowing things down.

    Is that 21 seconds to load or 21 seconds to execute some JavaScript code?

    Are you loading/including some third party JScript such as Jquery?
    Are you using your own copy (hosted on your site) or on a third part site such as google ( CDN network) ?

    Are you you using http or https?

    Is there a caching issue?
