FIX: Firefox Slow Response for Localhost on Vista & XP: Advertisement:

When developing on Vista (or XP with IPv6) you'll notice that Firefox is extremely slow on localhost-sites.

Here's a fix, courtesy of Dan Wahlin's Weblog, via ScottGu's blog.

In Firefox, type about:config and then in the filter box type dns. You'll see an entry named network.dns.disableIPv6...

Double-click that line so that it reads True, effectively disabling IPv6.
