Wierd Impact on FireFox 3.5 after Ubuntu 9.10 Updates

[OldeFoxx]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Did an automatic update of Ubuntu 9.10 in Satellite notebook, which went fine. But now FireFox 3.5 gets stuck on loading home page and times out. Alternate sites time out as well. Tried pinging addresses, and some IP addresses respond but URL addresses also fail to load. Have Ubuntu 10.04 on a different partition and rebooted to it, and FireFox works fine there. Tried 9.10 again, same problem, but decided to try reporting a problem. Funny thing is, FireFox able to reach LaunchPad and email server no problem. Don't know any convenient was to backtrack over updates, there were only 5 or 7 files downloaded, not sure which. May see if I can maintain connectivity long enough to download alternate browser and see how it fares.
