because I downloaded the 7.0.1 version it takes forever to reach any site

I downloaded the 7.0.1 version recently and since then, the browser appears to hang when you try to reach any url. Sometimes it is faster but on average, it may take MINUTES or never reach the page. I also use GoogleChrome and access is instant. My connection is fiber optic wide Bank, 6 mb, so this isn't a problem. In recent years, FireFox is my favorite browser, but if this problem persists I'll be forced to use an alternative one.

The default value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections has been increased from 30 up to 256 in versions of Firefox 6 +.

You can try to decrease the value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections from 255 to a setting more modest as 30 such as used in versions of Firefox 3.

  • bug 692260 - increase Network.http.Max - connections seem to cause hang, requires a restart of the browser
