Looks like a nameserver issue, not a Firefox issue.

looking into /etc/rc.conf, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts:

-are you on DHCP?
-If not, what 'defaultrouter' setting?
-and what is in /etc/resolv.conf?

Then also:

-are you behind a firewall?
-are you setting the browser to use a proxy?
-and what about NAT, routed, named?

HTH
