Even after all of my pages have loaded, the tabs continue to say "Connecting..." I don't have any kind of add-on/plugin like tabrenamer are anything that should be affecting the titles of my tabs. This can be an inconvenience when working with several pages at a time. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Some pages are using scripts like GoogleAPIs ,YahooAPIs, GoogleAnalytics, webTools pages and etc. sometimes the requested URL for the script or any web page element (like pictures and icons) are missing or so busy and there is no response from the server. The requests are sent to server using UDP protocol (means high speed, but no accuracy for very busy servers and lost connections!). UDP is a high speed protocol and send and receive your requested elements rapidly!

1- You can try clicking in the address bar and pressing enter. this may help you sometimes.

2- Also you can use add-ons like NoScript for disabling unwanted scripts. You can try installing NoScript and click on "Allow scripts globally". Then, at the pages you mentioned load too long and never stop, try to disable scripts while you find the bad or not respinding script (Scripts)!

That can be caused by the FoxLingo extension

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
