Very clever. Think like malware... Since you can connect with Firefox, download the Malwarebytes free software, update it, run a full scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Looking at their WWW page today, they claim to have gotten rid of 1 billion infections! Bit no AV software knows about everything, but I would start there no matter what else you are using or how sanitary you think your system already is. Yours is the first post I can recall where someone said Firefox actually runs slower than IE, but if you have some malware that involves accessing the Internet that could hurt Firefox as well. Please report back your results and if you need more ideas.
