Internet running slow

I am pretty PC smart and sometimes my firefox runs slow. What are some programs you run to speed up your computer to surf quicker?
 
If you are using Internet Explorer, one way to speed up browsing is to disable add-ons.

In IE, go to ‘tools’ and ‘manage add-ons’.
Disabling any unnecessary add-ons may help your Internet run faster.
Try disabling add-ons with more than a .2 sec load time. (i.e. tool bars)

You could also try defragmenting your hard drives and run a checkdisk utility because firefox will use your paging file areas for temporary storage and to backup where your at and what your doing a fair amount of the time

tell us if there are any improvements in performance or not
 
I did defrag and it is still running slow. I tried all of this before I posted. Basically, when I place something in the browser and click on search it drags its butt off maybe 10 seconds before it goes to the next page. Kinda like I am back on dial up
 
what I noticed is that firefox 3.5.7 was dragging. I updated my FF to 3.6 and all is running fine.....go figure
