It is messy to find those settings firefox depends on the version. It is under advanced network settings. Chrome is under advanced system. It would be nice if they did not move these options around.

Wireshark is a program you download. It packet capture program that allows you see every packet coming and going from your machine. It is a complex tool to use well but when everything is being blocked you should see the ip addresses it is attempting to talk to. This is one of those tools you play with for a while to learn the basics.
Can you ping web sites both by name and by ipaddress from the command line. Mostly this is it only a browser that has issues. Does something like steam or other game downloader work.
What happens if you install another browser. Have you tried firefox,chrome and ie.
 
It is strange that all the browsers are being affected but direct access via ping commands is not.

If ping works both by ip and by name then the problem has to be the browser. It is strange that 3 different ones are affected. Make sure you have the option disabled to use system proxy settings.

After this you try the brute force method to see whats going on. Load wireshark and watch the messages and where it attempt to send them. when it is not working.
