firefox hounds me to upgrade to FF8 & I close the pop up for a week - several times a day. Now, FF upgrades me on my reboot (without my permission) and the graphics are horrible.

web pages load at 1996 speeds ( flashbacks of my 9600 baud modem). Pages start to load, then hang for minutes at a time - effectively rendering my computer useless (locked up & unresponsive) until it finishes loading the page.

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.
