I browse on firefox, through facebook and youtube, then after a while everything stops loading properly. If I click on a link it just seems to load forever, youtube videos will even stop loading mid way. However as soon as I close and reopen it works fine. No one else on my network is having these problems.

See if this helps.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.You can change it back to a better value.

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Filter = 'network.http.max-connections
Right-click that pref and select Modify

Change the integer value to 48 (or maybe the old value of 30 ).
