Slow internet browsers

I was using IE as my internet browser until recently i switched to Mozilla Firefox....Now i use both of them but both them take a long time to load...is it because of the two browsers or something else...

thanks

could possibly be spyware/virus, what kind of line are you on (cable, dsl, dial-up). have you run scans recently to check for spyware/virus? the browser itself shouldn't make a difference

You can speed the launch of Firefox up a little by doing whats posted here. I tried it and noticed a difference.
