Hey,
It sounds bit strange that you cannot browse websites with Firefox. Which version are you using? Did you check your proxy settings in Firefox? I assume you do not use proxy so you shouldn't have defined one in FF options.
As for other games they all need certain ports forwarded on the router (also, as you mentioned, firewall needs to be set properly).
For example:
Battlefield Vietnam TCP: 4711,14667,28900 UDP: 15567,15690,4555-4557,23000-23009,27900
Hope this helps, if not, we will need some more details on your problem, like FF version, error message, vista app. logs etc.

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-us.start2.mozilla.com.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.
* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

aj95 - you have to be able ping something.
Go to start - run - type in cmd and hit enter.
now type in:
ping google.com
ping yahoo.com
let us know what happens. It must do something.
Are you sure it is not firewall?
Do you have system firewall ON or OFF?
Do you have any 3rd party intrusion detection software or something installed?
Do you have firewall on your modem? (some modems have firewall built in)
All signs on the sky point to firewall problem.
Error logs can be pulled out from:
Right click on my computer - manage and go to event viewer.
Look in application or system for red marked errors.
Let us know what's up.
