Well there was and IDN spoofing issue a while back... and FireFox did release a slew of updates.. in fact they only have one unpatched problem, by my last count on secunia.com If you haven't upgraded to the latest 1.0.1 firefox security update, try that step first... the second thing I would try on your line John is to test it's quality try visiting dslreports.com or 2wire.com and run a few tests to see what your current speed is. The last step is to find out how your network is set up.. what hardware and where... hope it helps..
