See firefox hangs and Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading note in particular the suggestion to reduce the number of connections from maybe 200+ to about 50

I tried many of the suggested "solutions" but they did not work for me. The only one that has worked was to download Firefox 8 beta and use it instead. Firefox 7 had other problems too (slow, inconsistent on downloading and displaying pdf files, etc.). Firefox 8 so far is great!

Glad using firefox 8 works, some of the problems, including the one about the maximum number of connections (affecting some Windows users) have been fixed in Frefox 8, and as you say it is available on the beta channel
