Okay, last night I updated my Mozilla, everything was fine and dandy. This morning I get up, open my browser and it's half loading pages. It doesn't load Facebook at all (Just a list of text and a few images on the left side of the page). Fans works 50% of the time, but it's not loading all the posts, even when I refresh the page a million times.
I restarted my computer and cleared everything (including cookies). How do I fix this, if it's fixable? >_<
Big Ole Edit -- Comp won't even fully run a virus scan. Was up til 5 am trying to fix it (woke up paranoid that the files I want to keep weren't there). Going today to pick up a new tower @ 3, so be back this afternoon :s

It sounds like a problem with your internets? :huh

Everything else is fine. If I open a page in IE, it works fine (slow but it loads the whole thing).

Try uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it?

I tried to install an older version of Firefox, and it comes up as "not a valid Win32 application". I have no idea what the heck that means.

Did you uninstall Firefox first? You might need to clear out your cache, or your profile was corrupted.

Okay, been going through all my bookmarks. They seem to be working fine now (wtf - the computer sensed it was about to go out the window?). SA was only loading most of the page, now it's loading the entire thing. Fans is working fine, emails are fine, the rest of my bookmarks are fine. Facebook isn't working at all, but that might be because I'm using the newer version. I'm going to go on another computer and switch it back. Maybe that'll help.
I cleared the cache a couple times, and my cookies. I hate when this happens because I have NO idea what's wrong >_<
EDIT - Okay, Facebook-Old-Skool works fine, except for the chat which is really messed up for some reason.

Okay, it's still buggy. :(
I uninstalled Firefox, got the 3.0.1 exe, tried to install it again and my computer says the file is corrupted.
Edit - also more Win32 application BS |I It won't let me open any .exes.

It sounds like you downloaded a corrupt firefox executable. It happens sometimes. It does sound like your computer is throwing it's arms up in the air.
Send me a PM I might have another solution.

My sisters boyfriend just spent 30 mins checking everything on here. Even IE isn't working properly. Google searches take you to other pages, IE isn't loading the pages and nothing is working.
I guess we're wiping it and reinstalling. :|
Edit edit - I dropped $600 on a an entire new computer. 19" flat screen monitor and got a printer/scanner. >_>; So pretty. I've never owned a brand new computer before.

You have been hit with the new class of spyware that is likely based on braviax style attacks.
The easiest solution in this case really is a wipe and reload. This stuff is truly nasty and damn near impossible to remove.

We couldn't even wipe and reinstall windows. It froze each time we tried it. Ran a spy-ware program, it found nothing. Anti-virus also froze. Trust me, everything under the sun was tried to fix it, and nothing worked at all. :(
