I am consistently uses OpenVPN and RamsesVPN connectivity. But whenever i switch between the VPN connectivity or connect into any VPN or disconnects existing VPN connectivity. My Firefox Browser is unable to load new webpages/Refresh existing open TABS.

In order to restore, i have to restart my Browser each time, whereas i am not facing this problem with Chrome.

I am running with Windows 7 Enterprise edition, and latest Firefox version.

Is there any method to avoid these restarts ?

Hi, this bug is old, but it has useful info for VPNs See for reference Bug 702111

And there are built in features on the about:config file that you can tweak the number of connections and allowing pipe lining: Third party information on these connections

Other suggestions I have seen are to add bookmarks while logged into either vpn. (For example, bookmark the frequent sites you use in either vpn in separate folders)

In Firebug, when you connect or refresh the page when moving from one VPN to the other, do you see a termination in the connection to the first vpn?
