After 2 or 3 web sites Mozilla no longer connects

After I have loaded 2 or 3 pages Mozilla just says connecting then eventually displays my home page again. restarting Mozilla does not fix this but restarting the computer does. IE still works while Mozilla is failing to connect.

The Automatically add troubleshooting link has the same problem

Do you have any antivirus or firewall settings that might be blocking Firefox from making a connection? Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet

If this is not the case, please consider a Reinstall of Firefox.
