facebook and Windows Live Writer and Blog slow typing into blog

I used Windows Blog today and the typing into a blog online is very slow to
appear in the webpage. I may have to wait up to 20 seconds after typing
before the webpage lets me type again.
The whole webpage freezes. The same happens when I type into Facebook and
this never happens doing any other task on this computer.
What could be causing this?
At one point I changed something that showed port 445 but I can not find
that now.
Windows Live Email and other Windows Live applications.
This does not seem to be happening here at Microsoft Groups and I think it
did not used to happen before when I used Windows Live Writer and blog...but
I may have forgotten.
Someone has already suggested using Firefox but love love love Windows Live
applications and the great services available online.
A beneficiary as myself likes the applications much.
