Network slows down when Firefox opens first
I am using Vista service pack 1 and whenever I open the Firefox browser before opening other browsers my Internet slows to a crawl. Using speedtest.net my download speed is ~10Mb/s with just Firefox open but when I open Chrome or IE8 after Firefox is open the connection speed drops to ~0.2Mb/s. If I close these browsers while the speed test is going on the speed will jump back up to ~10Mb/s The funny part is if I open IE8 first and do the speed test in IE8 it doesn't matter if Firefox is open. The connection speed remains ~10Mb/s regardless of what I do.
