Since FF7 was released, i get really intermittent connection to the browser. That is to say, for instance, a movie stream will abruptly terminate or websites will stop loading altogether. For instance, at random intervals, i'll try to go to google.com and it'll say "connecting" as if im not connected to the internet. But I try in IE and it works just fine. Then I restart the browser by closing all windows and all is well again. What is the issue?

Using Win 7.

I have had that problem ever since 6 came out, 7 did not fix it. So I went back to 5. The moment I went back it was all fixed. I thought it was me, I thought it was my isp. But everything else would work fine, it was JUST Firefox 6 & 7. Take it back to 5. I was lucky enough to still have it stored. You will find it goes away. They need to fix the issue.

Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can

Check and tell if its working.
