If you can access anything at all (which you say you can) then it's
probably not a driver problem... Something about DNS maybe? You can
access your LAN and the Cox email. Maybe you're not getting IP
addresses for everything else.
Suggestions on how check this? Tools? I can access Google either by IP
address or FQDM, so DNS seems to work for that site.
Oddly, some URI's will load into the browser, most don't. It seems that
the ones which do don't use any Javascript.
Those pages could be cached in your browser or proxy. I get some
static pages to load even when I'm not connected to the Internet.

I've tried clearing the browser cache. No difference. The browser is not
using a proxy, but I have used Privoxy and Tor. I will stop those
services from running at boot anyway. But that doesn't explain the email
problem.
It looks like some or all sites are contacted by the browser - the
Firefox status bar says "Transferring data from <website>". But either
the page loads partially, or not at all. I don't see a pattern.
Email POP servers ask for and accept a password, but eventually time out.
