I am using FF 9.0.1 lately when I start opening tabs everything is fine but after a couple of minutes when I try to open more websites FF seems to load then for ages as though the internet connection is lost although it is not lost and chrome at the same time can open all website with no problem, it seems that after 5 or so min FF is able open those website. What could be the problem, I don't know what is up with FF lately it seems to be very hard to use compared to chrome, I still like FF but if those problems continue I will have to change. Also I tried to uninstall and install FF again it didn't help.

Thank you for your help!
