Have your ISP check your service.

Unplug your modem power for a 10 count to re-boot it.

Starting firefox in safe mode does not fix the problem. My ISP was here a month ago, and I got a new modem and they tested the wires and connection. Chrome loads pages instantly. I'm using hard wire and can play my video games for hours without losing a single packet. I think it's firefox; not my ISP. Why do you think I should have them check it?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?

The problem is no longer there if I start in safe mode with networking. cftmon.exe ran only during safe mode.

Programs that run during a normal boot, but not in safe mode.

dllhost.exe dwm.exe HiResTimer.exe (this is a service I downloaded for my video game) nvvsvc.exe nvvsvc.exe nvxdsync.exe RzSynapse.exe*32 (program for my gaming mouse) Steam.exe*32 steamwebhelper.exe steamwebhelper.exe svchost.exe (probably the extra services running) svchost.exe (probably the extra services running) taskhost.exe WmiPrvSE.exe

Services that run during a normal boot, but not in safe mode.

Background Intelligent Transfer Service COM+ Event System Desktop Window Manager Session Manager Diagnostic Policy Service Diagnostic Service Host Diagnostic System Host Function Discovery Provider Host Function Discovery Resource Publication Group Policy Client HiResTimer (this is that service) HomeGroup Listener HomeGroup Provider Human Interface Device Access IP Helper Multimedia Class Scheduler (this turned off later) Nvidia Display Driver Service Peer Name Resolution Protocol Peer Networking Grouping Peer Networking Identity Manager Program Compatability Assistant Service Security Accounts Manager Security Cetner Server Shell Hardware Detection SSDP Discovery System Event Notification Service Task Scheduler Themes UPnP Device Host Windows Audio Windows Audio Endpoint Builder Windows Font Cache Service WLAN AutoConfig

I disabled the Windows Management Instrumentation service which in turn killed IP Helper and Security Center. This seemed to have no effect. Then I disabled the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service. This had a huge effect on firefox and it is running alot better. Now it always loads my webpages. The delay before it loads webpages is still too slow. It was much faster in safe mode.

Experimental Features

I decided to uninstall waterfox, an old copy of firefox, and the developer edition I am using. Deleted the Mozilla folder in %appdata%/local and %appdata%/roaming. Unfortunately it reverted back to being really slow. The log I posted above is after deleted the old copies and reinstalling / updating the firefox developer edition I want to use.

I've ran into an issue with my pc and I can't get my display drivers to install no matter what I try. I think the problem is wininet.dll. I ran sf /scannow in command protect so windows would look for errors. I found other people with a large log (100+ lines of errors) and they say that is too many to manually fix you need to use the windows cd and run a repair. My log is thousands upon thousands of lines haha. My windows is trashed. chkdsk didn't come back with any errors but I have ran into problems with my hard drive before and I think it may have corrupt a bunch of data. Needless to say without display drivers I can't play my games, or do 1% of what I like to do on my computer. I have to reload. This will most likely fix all my issues with firefox. I will get back to you after the reload.

This may help. I think you need to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Checks a disk and displays a status report.

CHKDSK [volumepath]filename] /F /V /R /X /I /C [:size] /B

 volume          Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
                 mount point, or volume name.
 filename        FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
 /F              Fixes errors on the disk.
 /V              On FAT/FAT32: Displays the full path and name of every file
                 on the disk.
                 On NTFS: Displays cleanup messages if any.
 /R              Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
                 (implies /F).
 /L:size         NTFS only:  Changes the log file size to the specified number
                 of kilobytes.  If size is not specified, displays current
                 size.
 /X              Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary.
                 All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid
                 (implies /F).
 /I              NTFS only: Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
 /C              NTFS only: Skips checking of cycles within the folder
                 structure.
 /B              NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
                 (implies /R)

The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by skipping certain checks of the volume.
