So hello!

My firefox was working like a dream BEFORE I updated it to version 7. Now it cannot even run ONE friggin' youtube-video without getting stuck - and I can only close it through task management.

I also removed fox 7 and re-installed fox 6 but then it updated to 7 without any permission to... I really hate that nowadays it can't run several tabs or even one with a video in it. I have tried EVERY single thing I can - it gets stuck even if I have no other programs running. My virus-check is ok and I've tried everything mentioned in support for troubleshooting. But the thing is that it doesn't crash, it just gets stuck and I can't do anything.

With fox 6 I could've had twenty tabs and it didn't do this. Now this stupid program can't run even one friggin' video. And I'm not the only one. Few of my friends have exactly the same problem as I. Everything else works perfectly on my computer - not firefox... I wouldn't like to change to chrome since IE is evenly bad as fox 7. And I can say it's really NOT only me. I live in Finland, if that helps... Could you PLEASE do some updated version that works like 6. I had no problems in it.

This really sucks since I have to restart the stupid firefox every two minutes...

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 255 to a setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
