I was going to suggest privoxy. Most applications do DNS look-up in the
same way--it's hard to imagine a Firefox-specific bug along these lines.
I wonder if your privoxy is configured to access another proxy? What
happens if you still use privoxy, but configure privoxy to allow all
requests to pass-through?

There might also be something with the coffee shop's access system. Many
coffee shops require you to "register" before you can access the greater
Internet--in my experience, privoxy has sometimes interfered with this
access provision. I belive there was a way to fix it without totally
disabling privoxy, though.
