When I open multiple tabs, the first and second tabs load the webpage, but the third or fourth tab and those there after never load the requested web pages; instead, they say connecting infinitely.

I am running Firefox 7.0.1. As long as I don't open more than 2 or 3 tabs, everything runs fine. However, I am in the habit of going to a news website, and opening all of the interesting articles by right-clicking on each link and selecting "Open in a new tab". After upgrading to Firefix 7.0.1 recently, anytime I try to open more than 3 tabs, the first two tabs load fine, but the third or fourth tab (not always consistent) and subsequent tabs just say "connecting..." but never do connect. Then any time I try to head to a new site or click a link, even in the first or second tab, it never actually connects.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
