I'm trying to get into the Best Buy website, but the loading time slows to a crawl. I can kind of get through it by stopping and reloading each page I want to see, but this is getting annoying. Any ideas?

I have to hit "stop" (the red x) in the location bar, and then click "reload" (the circle with arrow) in the same spot to get Best Buy pages- and several other websites to load.

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 255 to a setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

It looked like it was working at first, but then it got stuck again. *sigh*
