After the last update to the current Firefox I cant navigate forward or back on web pages or reload. It also doesnt open to my home page. Any ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still have the same issue.
I cant navigate forward, back, or reload any website. It also doesnt open to my home page which is set to google. I have to click on my home page button to get there. I also cant locate the plugins or addons which I could before. I know I have several.

- Try this.
- Type in the address bar about:config.
- Accept the warning.
- In the page that appears, in the Filter box, type network.http.max-connections.
- Change the value to 32 (which is probably set to 256 in your case).
- Close the about:config page.
- Restart the browser.

Ok I tried it and still doesn't work.
Then you need a clean install.
First export your bookmarks to a html file. (Bookmarks/Unsorted bookmarks will bring you History page where you can export your bookmarks). Note down your add-ons too.
Uninstall the old FF using free software like Revo Uninstaller. This will delete all the root directories and registries of old FF.
Now download the latest version of FF and install it. You can re-import your bookmarks from your saved html file.
You may still have to do the fix in my first post.
Post here whether this worked for you.
I did it and so far seams to be working. Why did I need to change the network to 32?
Apparently 256 demands from a website is too much for it to handle.
And I don't know why FF put that number there and still hasn't fixed it despite numerous complaints of non-connection and despite the fact many solved that problem by reducing that no.
