My Firefox hangs every now and again for about 30 seconds. I get a message saying it is not responding and it's driving me mad! Only happened recently, haven't done anything major to my computer in that time.

I did recently mess things up with a Vaio update and my computer then wouldn't do anything, wouldn't connect to internet etc. I did 2 system restores and it now seems to work fairly well apart from this hanging business.

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.
