After the most recent Firefox version update notification, I ran the update, restarted firefox and ever since then I have had a horrible time browsing normally very fast loading websites. I've notified Charter, my service provider and asked if there were any internet speed downgrades and they said no. I am on the verge of uninstalling Firefox at this point.

No reply, INCO. Please reopen if this still happens in Firefox 3.5.1 or later in Firefox Safe Mode or a new Profile.
