Ever since I downloaded the latest FIREFOX websites and pages take a long time to open and some of my online games don't open up correctly. Can I go back to the previous version ?

It takes awhile for anything/everything to load after I click on it when I'm online. It will freeze up about every 3 to 5 minutes for approx. 5 to 10 seconds at random. Some of my games will not load correctly on when I'm on "KING.com". This problem does NOT occur when I use "Internet Explorer" Can I go back to a earlier version of FIREFOX ?

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.

Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

It would, perhaps, be more helpful if you explained how to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 in steps that this novice can easily follow. I have looked at the link above and found it far too confusing and no mention anywhere of this network.http.max-connections. Any chance someone could do this for me, please? At the moment I am having to use a different browser to play games on King.com is this what Mozilla want? I feel quite let down and wish I not made the upgrade from the 3 version to the 9.

That bug has been fixed in Firefox 8 on Windows, so if you changed the pref then reset its value to the default 48 used in current Firefox versions via the right-click context menu.

  • Bug 692260 - Increase in network.http.max-connections appears to cause hang, requires browser restart
  • Bug 696989 - Lower network.http.max-connections to 48 on windows until bug 692260 is resolved
