Website connection failures starting last evening....
On a whim I decided to flush my DNS cache, and since doing so everything is fine. I had tried Google's DNS servers and was still having the problem, so I didn't think flushing the DNS cache would make any difference, but I guess it did.
I did notice, while using Firefox, that the TLS handshake was the most prominent thing showing during the process of a web page opening, which I could see on the lower left of the page. From discussion with Corrosive, I understand that Firefox basically takes a longer time to try to open a web page before it gives up, and this may be why Firefox was not messing up like the other three. It would take a while to open the page sometimes, and, as mentioned, I could see that it was performing a TLS handshake during these delays. I guess the other three would give up too quickly.
I'll keep an eye on it (it'll be kind of hard not to) and will post again when I know for sure whether the problem is solved or not.
Thanks again for the help.
