I tend to agree with you that it's not a Firefox program (but perhaps some
rogue program or virus) -- except in the possibility that Firefox is doing
something to cause the problem. Again, I don't think there's a high
probability of that, but it is a possibility, since it happens while I'm
using Firefox.
To answer your question, Norton Internet Security is an umbrella application
which encompasses firewall, antivirus, antispyware, etc. By disabling NIS, I
disabled all of those. And, as noted, problem persisted.

Since the problem is happening to IE aswell, then its NOT a Firefox
problem but rather your connection. Since you've disabled your AV, then
we can rule that out. What else are you running in the background?
Firewall, Hosts File, Adblocker, or something else?
Perhaps a LSP spyware is at work?
do a google search on Layer Service Provider on Microsoft web site...
and download SPORDER.exe to see if there is a rogue service provider
redirecting your winsock traffics.
