Firefox keeps loading pages forever... or stops loading pages
Hi everyone... the issue I have is pretty much this:
I open a website, or some websites, and one of them keeps loading forever and it makes the other sites also loading forever. So, Firefox stops working as if there was no response from the servers...
If I open a new tab, it goes to the same and loads forever, but never gets to actually load any content at all...
The only way to fix this is by closing the window, and starting all again...
There is no particularly site, sometimes happens with Hotmail, Emol.com (chilean newspaper site), a forum, or just any site...
I have this issue since Firefox 6, but it was a lot less recurrent, I was able to use almost normally... it the problem comes, just restart the browser... the same solution...
Also, I'm pretty sure is NOT a net issue, since I don't have any problem at all with Internet Exlorer, or any other software.
I usually use FF in Private Browsing, but this problem occurs in both normal and private mode.
What I think it could be? I noticed EVERY page that makes the issue come up, has flash content... maybe Flash Player is the guilty, or the Plugin-Container handling it...
Things I have tried:
- Re-installing the browser as admin
- Clearing Recent History (Everything)
I guess that's all, any question or suggestion, please post it, I'll be checking this thread as often as I can.
Thanks for your attention, even if you just readed this.
PS: Sorry for my english, I speak spanish...

@yesyes - Did you perform the suggestions mentioned in the article provided my previous reply ?? IF Yes, then try the following:
Type about:config in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click I'll be careful, I promise! button.
-> In the Filter bar, type network.http.max-connections
- Right click the preference network.http.max-connections and choose Modify
- change the value to 30 or 48
- click OK
-> Close the about:config tab
- Restart Firefox.
Check and tell if its working.

I may have jumped the gun on the Javascript thing so hang on for just a little while as I keep testing that part out. I had it off and things seemed to load nicely after I posted that last post (ain't that always the case? hehe)
Anyways I'm checking it out for a while, have to wait for more people to post so I'll know shortly.
Question: If it IS something to do with the javascript settings, what do I do? I leave that turned off long as I'm a web builder so I need that running to test the sites I'm working on etc. Not to mention I want sites I visit to work right too. What do I do if that is the problem?
Thanks for the suggestion mha007, I did both and neither seem to have fixed the issue at this point.
I'm also unable to truly test the javascript far enough as most everything I tried makes me enable it to continue any further on the websites. The CoffeCup site that I am on most often needs it on for the forum to function properly to post so I can't really do much if I need to post something :/
Is there anything I can do to attempt to fix a possible javascript issue without further testing? In other words, let's pretend that it's a javascript issue. What would I do to fix it that I can do right now and see if it does fix it?
Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
-> Basic Troubleshooting - Make a New Profile
IF that New Profile works then you can recover your Bookmarks and Passwords from the Old Profile.
-> Recovering important data from an old profile
Check and tell if its working.
Thanks again mha007, keeping my fingers crossed as I reset firefox in this new profile, but so far only a few sites out of about 30 to 40 that I've opened so far have kept running (accommodating Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar so it shows the correct favicons on my bookmarks toolbar). Could very likely be those sites so we'll see. Before I did this it was starting to be every other page I opened, so this is an improvement at the moment, hopefully it will stay that way.
If the issue returns I will be back, but thanks so much for all your help so far :)
Disabling Extended Statusbar solved the problem for me.
Didn't have that addon running at all so I guess it wouldn't work for me,... but...
So far it has been working great since creating a new profile so THANK YOU mha007 again for all your assistance. :)
Glad to see it worked !!
