I don't know if this is a CentOS7/Firefox problem or one with the distant web site slashdot.org. I can connect to it just fine with the latest Firefox on my Windows 10 desktop PC, but not with Firefox 52.6.0 on this CentOS 7.4 laptop. This has been an on-going problem for several weeks. Google search results are sketchy. slashdot.org may have been a DDOS target today, but as I write this

I have set network.dns.disableIPv6 true. Any idea why firefox is so slow? Jerry

I wonder if there is a simple test to see if a CentOS machine has been infected in this way? The article mentions Yara and Snort rules to test for this, but I wonder if there is something simpler? Alternatively, are there Yara or
