/etc/resolv.conf has DNS advertised by my ppp connection. That's why
nslookup or ping is working with url. But somehow firefox is not able to
translate or use those.

It sounds like you're not getting a DNS server address. Without being
able to connect to a DNS server your computer can't translate a website
name like
www.example.com to an IP address like 127.0.0.1.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
If you don't see any addresses or if you see invalid addresses, then you
have found your problem.
