Slow Internet

I am running both Firefox and Internet explorer, the problem is that so of the websites open very slow while others open normally .
can anyone advise how to correct the problem.?

It may be beyond your control. The most popular websites will attract more traffic, and unless the website owner invests in more hardware to cope with it, those pages will open relatively slowly compared to others.

The problem can be particualrly bad at peak times when most of the world (especially the USA as the largest internet user) is at home in the evening.

If there was anything wrong at your end it would affect every single website you visited.

Yeah, It might be the websites or the elements on the websites like adds and flash. I would use adblocker or some other blocking add-on to allow the content to load quicker.

I noticed that Firefox have a lot of add-on
1) Are add-ons necessary .?
2) If they are necessary how do i know which ones are needed .?

All the add-ons are optional...so you just include the ones that you want. You can disable them and add them back to see which one is causing the conflict
