From the time i updated to FF 7.0.x firefox has problems with opening websites. Any websites.

So i have many websites in tabs. When i open firefox i can see tabs refreshing circle going. And im waiting, and waiting and none of the websites open! Sometimes part of some website will be downloaded/displayed but others will eventually timeout.

While using any other browser i dont have such problems.

But the other time FF will open all my tabs...so this is not firewall issue. Also i only use windows firewall and i verified that FF is not blocked.

This or other way, when i will reinstall firefox, it will work perfectly, but next day or day after it will stop loading pages again!

But, when i will leave browser open for some time, like 10 minutes, it sometimes kick in and start opening pages. Sometimes wont.

I have no clue whats goiung on. I tried clearing cache and reinstalling as i mentioned. Nothing helps.

My OS is W7 x64 and Firefox 7.0.1

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

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

Unfortunately it doesn't really work for me. I have 30Mbit connection with 3Mbit upload, i doubt its because my "slow" connection. I tried this solution and it didn't help. :(

Thank you for trying.

It is still possible that the firewall is logging or monitoring Firefox's internet traffic and has a problem with doing that properly. So it can still be a firewall problem.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
