I've also seen this (on Debian Iceweasel) - and hadn't figured out that it was the proxy; looking through the Mozilla bugzilla there seem to be a lot of
proxy related hangs:

A lot of them seem to be related to doing a DNS lookup so that the PAC script can check by IP address rather than name which is very useful.

Do you use a PAC file or specify the proxy directly?

IMHO this is a major problem in office situations.
