Firefox Disconnection Problem

Hi, I have a problem with my explorer. I use Firefox as my default browser for my computer, but it happens even when I use Internet explorer. Now here's the problem:

It seems, my browser(Firefox) seems to time out every 10-15m then takes about 2-3 even 5 m to kinda get the connection time. At this same time, I run Other internet programs and they stay connected so I know I'm not getting disconnected but I don't know why my browser keeps timing out. Even when I don't run any other program but my browser it times out....

I usually run the following programs:
World of Warcraft
Ventrilo
AIM
MSN Live
Windows Media player
Norton

I have a pretty good computer, I built iy myself, it runs nicely. The only thing I cant seem to grasp my hands on is this one small problem. I don't know if its a problem with my firmware, or simply my browser or I have a virus.

Its either simple or complicated...I have no clue >.<

If anyone can help me out I would be most gracious, pardon my rudeness if this isn't the right thread but I though it was most appropriate since I use Firefox.

Thanks,
Frost

 

Hi Frosty,

Use an alternative browser for some time & let us know the result. There is a known problem while playing some flash files.

 

still doesn't work... Properly at least

 

Since it happens with Firefox and IE, it must be something deeper in. Have you tried to do a search for:

There is a lot there.

 

How are you connected to the internet?
I'm assuming you have broadband. Are you wired directly to the modem, through a router or WIFI connection?
