For a few weeks now an update from Firefox kept installing and failing, so I decided to do a clean uninstall and then reinstall Firefox fresh. Since this my internet browsing capability has died. I play MMOs and still connect through them, but both Firefox and IE get locked in a waiting for website message and time out before page loads. Have tried reseting router, multiple reinstalls of both browsers, cleared all caches and related temp folders, ping tests (all working fine), windows network diagnostics (again working fine), sfc/scannow (nothing), winsockfix (nothing), and am posting this from a laptop connected to the same router that also can access my PC through the network and vice versa. I have also scanned my computer for malware and viruses and found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
