Firefox (Ice Weasel) does not open any sites. The net is the Triband ADSL modem and in the gnome-terminal as well as konsole, dig, ping as well as ftp download works.

Maybe you can try by disabling ipv6?

1. Type about:config in location bar
2. In filter box type ipv6
3. network.dns.disableIPv6 change the value to true by right click and

toggle. This, will disable IPv6 for firefox. Maybe this could help.

Also have you tried with any other browser?

I will be visiting the place again and will carry out the checks and also use other browsers. Live cds will also be tried out. However, in my own Etch that I use, ipv6 is not disabled and I use the net normally. This has never happened in any distro that I have tried or used so far.

I had no idea about the about:config method in firefox. Thanks for the tip. :-)
