While I'm on line suddenly firefox says "Not Responding" and the screen goes pale white. Within 10-15 seconds it starts working again. It seems to happen when ever I'm in the middle of doing something an d it drives me crazy. I'm new to computers but this never happened before I upgraded to firefox 7.0. How do I fix this so it starts acting properly.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.

Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
