Hi. So, for the longest time now, my internet has just been craptacular. Browsing images with thumbnails, only half of the thumbs will load. Browsing the internet in general, a page will only load about 50% of the time. If I click refresh a million times, it will load eventually, but it takes forever. My internet itself is fast.... Videos load fine, when a picture actually does load, it doesn't take long at all..... It seems kind like each thing I have to load is like a hill or bump.... its very very hard for my internet to get over that bump, but once it does, its all smooth sailing. This is a problem I've been having with my mac ever since I first installed firefox onto it.
Thats one thing I was wondering. How compatible is imac with firefox? It came with safari, but I hated it instantly and got firefox instead.
Anyways, my friends and I are all connected to the same network... and their internet loads just fine, and they are both on windows. So I know its not my network connection.... its starting to become really annoying, does anyone have any advice?

My OS is Mac OS X version 10.4.11
