Using FF and searching on google, When I click on a link, the bottom left side of the screen shows multiple urls that follow words such as transfering XXXXX and connecting XXXX waiting XXXXX reading XXXXXX. Sometime its 2 or 3 other times more than ten. It delays the connection. This does not happen when I use IE, the connection is immideiate.
