Hello,

I have recently downloaded Firefox 4. When I am browsing the web, for example, clicking on a search result link in Google, Firefox doesn't open the page.

Instead of opening the page, it shows the message: "Waiting for... <site>" in the left corner in the bottom of the page, or shows "Connecting..." as the tab name, and a blank page as seen here: http://cl.ly/5L2R . The page doesn't load after waiting over 10 minutes.

The best solution I found so far is copying the link, restarting Firefox, and entering this link again.

I'd like to mention that I'm not trying to open sites that have a lot of media content and therefore should be loaded slowly, and the problem I've mentioned never happened to me in Firefox 3.6 or previous versions.

Please help me find a solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Sagiftw

I have this same issue. I click on links but it takes forever for FF 4 to load the page. There are times it doesn't even load the page at all. I don't get the white screen like the OP, it just stops trying to connect and there is no activity as if I never clicked on a link at all.

The only way I have been able to fix this is to click on the link multiple times in succession and even then it takes a long time. This is happening to me right now on the PayPal site while trying to go to the next page in my payment history.

I reverted back to FF 3.6 and didn't have this problem and I don't have any new add-ons since the upgrade so it isn't caused by that either. If anything I have less add-ons because about a 1/3 of them are not compatible with FF 4 yet.

I love the new look of FF4 but this is extremely frustrating!!!
