If the number of connections you were seeing from those applications was responsible for killing your Internet connection then everybody would be having the same issue.

The number of connections showing in netstat will depend largely on what you're doing with Firefox/Chrome, it's also worth realising (although I'm sure you don't need to be told this) that not every line in netstat is a live/established connection.

Finally, what are the actual symptoms that you are getting? Giving us this information might help us diagnose what your problem is more accurately.
