When I click on Firefox the program does not load allowing me access to the net. It eventually times out.

You may have to "allow" Firefox in your Firewall program. See this page and pick your Firewall from the listing to see instructions for your particular Firewall.

You may also need to reset some prefs. You have a lot of prefs in your More system details list that were changed from the default.
One of them being the pref to override the user agent to Firefox 3.6.3

general.useragent.override Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

If you haven't set network.http prefs yourself to those values for specific reasons then you should reset them (not all servers support pipelining). dom.max_chrome_script_run_time 0 and dom.storage.enabled false should also only be done in case of problems. dom.storage is a replacement for cookies and dom.max_chrome_script_run_time set to 0 may cause the browser to hang in case of script errors.
