Looking at the first IP address for Discord we see it is talking to: 162.159.135.233
which if we google it gives us this info:
https://ipinfo.io/162.159.135.233
One of the Domains hosted here by Cloudflare is:
so that is probably legitimate.
Using the same site the next one is a host for: discord.gg
Then we have two going to Google.
Another Cloudflare site with domain: discord.media
Another Cloudflare site with domain: discord.com
So the first instance of Discord appears legit. Certainly nothing evil.
Looking at the second instance of discord:
The first line is just listening on a certain port for traffic.
The second line is a connection to another process running on your PC.
Local 127.0.0.1:6463 ESTABLISHED Remote 127.0.0.1:50312
If we look for the other end we find:
C:\Program Files\LGHUB\lghub_agent.exe (12208)
...
Local 127.0.0.1:50312 ESTABLISHED Remote 127.0.0.1:6463 (Querying... )
LGHUB is Logitech Gaming Hub so probably related to this program you have installed:
Logitech Gaming Software 8.92 (HKLM\...\Logitech Gaming Software) (Version: 8.92.67 - Logitech Inc.)
No idea what Logitech has to do with this but it's probably not malicious.
The first instance of Spotify listens on ports:
49731 and 57621
and talks to Google in NJ and CA.
The second has a whole list of connections most most of them are the same and
connect to a hosting service in Toronto Canada.
Then you have connections to three PCs on your local network:
192.168.0.7
192.168.0.9
192.168.0.10
So in conclusion there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious.
As far as your Firefox is concerned I expect you are seeing MBAR at work for the Command Prompt and the other one. If you do not have your Firefox set up like I do it will open multiple connection in order to preload any links it sees on the page plus some of the connections may be caused by your extensions.

Alright man. Thank you so much for your help with everything. Ya really helped me out with some of this nonsense.
If you dont mind me asking, what type of anti version programs do you usually have installed on your computer?
Malwarebytes seems to be a staple everywhere.
Zemana helped me one time but thats about it.
AVG I tend to only install if I think something is wrong as I find it rather annoying.

I use the free Avast and MalwareBytes.
Avast is probably just as annoying as AVG (Avast bought up AVG a while ago) but you can go in and turn on Silent Mode and that stops the pop ups trying to get you to buy it. Best to make the Avast icon visible in the SysTray so you can see when it wants to get updated.
I don't know if AVG has it yet or not but one of Avast's strengths is the boot-time scan which starts before Windows and most malware gets loaded:
It takes like 6 hours so I usually let it run at night.
Click on the Avast ball. Then click on Protection, then on Antivirus, then on Other Scans then on Boot-time Scan. Click on Install Special Definitions. Click on Run on Next PC Reboot.
Reboot and let it run a scan. It may take hours.
Once it finishes it should load windows. Mute your speakers so it doesn't wake you up when Windows boots.
When you reboot you will see the scan start. It will tell you where it saves its log. Usually it's C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report\aswBoot.txt but it might change so verify the location. This is a hidden location so you will need to tell Windows to let you see it:

Copy and paste the text from the log to a Reply when done.

This only scanned my C: Drive, I have another. Is it necessary to check both? Or is this specifically about the booting process?

You can tell it to check other drives but it's mostly designed to check the boot drive.
I usually delete the corrupt files it finds. The file name and path is everything before the |.
The decompression bombs may be false positives. You could try submitting them to virustotal.com and see what they say.
