Web pages loading slowly with firefox and chrome only

Hey, only just today I have started to experience slow loading times for firefox and chrome but internet explorer loads pages just fine.



I have tried all of the following with no help:



Re-installing the browsers

Running CCleaner

Running the browsers in private mode

Uninstalling java

Restarting the computer

Scanning for viruses (BitDefender 2012)

Disabling my anti-virus

Assigning my computer a different static IP address

Restarting the modem



On average it would take roughly about 5 minutes to load google.com via firefox or chrome where as it would take a few seconds on internet explorer.



I'm not too sure if I was required to run any programs and have any attachments for this specific issue, so if it is required please let me know,



All help is greatly appreciated.

 

Run FF in safe mode (this is NOT windows safe mode)

If it is peppier than an addon is creating the slowdown.
