[AccessD] Who knew?

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.
