Ever since I downloaded the most recent update for Firefox, all of my web pages have been loading extremely slow. This happens for Firefox AND Explorer. I didn't have any programs running during the setup. I tried uninstalling Firefox and redownloading it, but after fighting just to get the page to load and then actually downloading the file, I got an error saying the file was corrupt.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update Firefox
2. Open Firefox
3. Try to load a page
Actual Results:  
Pages load extremely slow

Expected Results:  
It should work how it did before this update. I've never had issues with Firefox before this latest update.

Another issue that I've been having since this update is that Google.com is redirecting me to Google.co.ve. I've posted an issue on Google's website about that issue, but it only started happening immediately after this update.
