I have been having a heck of a time browsing lately. Some sites slower than others but just the simplest things like a google search taking 10 seconds just to start to return results. I have done everything I could think of, turned off my protection software, reset the cable modem etc. I finally decided to try Google Chrome. Instant results back. It seems that the issue is Firefox. I did some unscientific timing and Yahoo takes about 3 seconds to even start loading in Firefox, under a second in Chrome. MSN.com several seconds in FireFox, around a second in Chrome. NBCNews.com MANY seconds in Firefox, a few seconds in Chrome. It seems that I am finally going to move on from Firefox. The speed of browsing has become a major irritant lately and I never even considered that it was the browser, but it seems to be the case. -- John W.
