Attn Firefox users

Has anybody been having any glitches from using FireFox? I like it and all, but sometimes I notice it'll time out trying to connect to a server, when IE will do just fine. I wonder if I just need to update it. Come to think of it, it didn't do this until I updated it last.

Nobody? I checked my firewall and it's not restricting Firefox at all. I did a complete re-install, and still no go.

It's timing out every time I try to visit a site.

I'm using FF and IE. No problems with either running through a router. FF set up it's own connection and it's been smooth sailing. That includes a recent update to v.0.9.3

I've been having this problem on and off and have been investigating it.
So far I've found it is several of the self loading trojans that are trying to load. IE would be working fine becuase they were desighned to be loaded in the background under IE. FF doesn't know what to do with it so the system is tied up from the constant pinging from the host server. I haven't been able to find anything else out thus far.
