You have a firewall problem. Since it doesn't seem to be port
related (chrome and firefox are both using port 80) it's probably
an application firewall running on your windows box.
It's not impossible that you have some kind of malware infection.
They're known to cause similar problems. You can't diagnose this sniffing
from the effected host. You need to put a hub or tap in front of that host
and examine traffic as it arrives at its interface:

You're getting misleading results because something's causing it
to discard packets before they get to wireshark. But a thorough software
audit would be a better place to start IMHO.
You might try putting a hair dryer on it... (ha ha)
