Firefox 7 crashes when using "open all in tabs"

Since upgrading to FF7 (and 7.0.1) every time I use the "open all in tabs" command from the folder of bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar, the whole thing freezes and never finished loading any of the pages. I also can't open another window and get anything to load there.

I'm tried starting up in safe mode and still have the issue. I reinstalled FF6 right over FF7 and it was back to normal with no problems.

No crash reports since it doesn't get that far. I have to close all windows and restart FF, then it works again until I try open all in tabs.

Finally found a fix that is working for me! I've been using it for the last 10 mins or so and has not crashed/hung once yet!

Go to about:config and change the max connections from 256 to 48. The setting is "network.http.max-connections" Found here: LINK

So far so good. Please comment if this works for you as well!
