I am having a problem with all sites not pulling up when I click them on in History and Bookmarks (under Library folder) in Mac OS 10.6.8, Firefox 7.0.1. The title shows above the tabs, but the whole page freezes up. When I click the key to scroll between pages and then go back to the page, the site selected finally shows.

This problem does not occur in previous FF for Mac versions, FF 7.0 for Windows, Safari or other browsers, so it is a FF 7.0 for Mac problem.

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!

Already tried this with no success.

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.

Strangely, without going to a bookmarked site, the entire window with all tabs froze up similar to the problem I was having when trying to bring up a bookmarked site. Immediately following this, an Apple software upgrade window popped up. I went ahead with the upgrade and when it finished and rebooted, the problem is no longer. Thoughts?
