After updating to Firefox 6 (and now 7) I find that some websites take ages to load. This problem does not occur with IE. Any suggestions?
Since updating to Firefox 6 I have found that some websites an take up to 5 minutes to load. The same websites load quickly on IE. I had hoped that Firefox 7 would fix this problem, but this has no happened. If there is no solution I will probably have to stop using Firefox.

Why does that link go to IANA rather than to this site?
Many people have found that setting the maximum number of connections in about:config to a lower number solves the problem of Firefox slowness.
network.http.max-connections - default is now 256 - try 48

This is a problem with 7.0.1 that has not been recognized as yet, it manifests itself it time to load, never connecting, slow performance, etc. I posted this as part of another thread and have a response I am testing.

Changed from 32 to 48. Looks as if this has worked a treat!
Oops! I spoke too soon. Next time I opened Firefox the problem had returned, and, on checking network.http.max-connections the figure had reverted to 32. I have changed it to 48 0n several occasions, but each time I close the browser the figure reverts to 32. Is there any way of retaining it at 48?

Do you have a user.js file in your profile with that setting? That would keep resetting the old value back again.
That is not the reason. The only user.js file on the PC is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\user.js and is empty.
Problem now solved. I had to uninstall Firefox completely with Revo Uninstaller, reinstall and start completely from scratch. Web pages are now loading quickly. On looking at about:config , network.http.max-connections is set at 256, and changing to 48 makes no appreciable difference.
