Using Foxfire with an IP (ATT.NET) that unfortunately subscribes to Google for everything. How do I use FF in this case?
I have been with ATT.NET for several years. When I upgraded to ATT's U-verse due to really bad response times I now have WIFI in-house. My response times have not really improved as much as I expected they would. There is always lots of "lock-up dead times) when I can't even type an email without typos due to machine response while keying. When I look into System Manager over 50% of the CPU is constantly being used by 2 copies of iexplorer even though I may not be doing any browsing at all. The new version of ATT.NET now subscribes to Google so my screen is always populated by some Google ad garbage or interference of some kid. I hate Google and always have. Since ATT is now directly tied to Google can I still use FF for browsing? If so how do I do it?

Please consider turning on send info to Mozilla before posting a question. This helps us help you. As I have no info from your system that would help see things that cause issues. I have to guess. I do not have your OS, Firefox version, Extensions, video card driver info that shows if there are errors..... I have nothing...
Since changed services follow please and do. Copy and paste the text below to a file called Flush.txt _______________________________________________ @Echo on pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc attrib -h -s -r hosts echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS attrib +r +h +s hosts popd ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns netsh winsock reset all netsh int ip reset all shutdown -r -t 1 del %0 _____________________________________ Now save it again as a file called Flush.bat
Double click or run it. It will flush your modem out, reboot cpu so have everything closed. It also deletes it self that is why you have a copy called Flush.txt
With out knowing your OS
Try Ublock Origin as a adblocker and Ghostery.
I do not understand "Since ATT is now directly tied to Google can I still use FF for browsing? If so how do I do it? " Why should you not be able to. If they blocked you is a class action....
Uninstall Firefox and reinstall from here https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

You can create a new profile to test if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
