Firefox stops loading websites (even after configuring about:config)
I have FireFox 8 installed, and it always stops loading websites. I've read this thread:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/881844
And I followed the chosen solution by "archeocyathan" that is in this thread, and I went to about:config and changed the "max-connections" from 96 to 48.
When I change the "max-connections" - it works fine but only for a few minutes, and then the settings go back again to 96 and I have to change them again.
Questions:
1) Why is that? 2) Is there any way to FORCE about:config to stay with "max-connections" on 48 ? I looked online for ways to save it, but I understand once you make changes they are saved - so why it always changes back from 48 to 96? 3) Any way you can help out with it?
It's FireFox 8 as I mentioned, the latest version of FireFox ... I even uninstalled my Antivirus and nothing worked so far.

The current default of the network.http.max-connections pref in Firefox 8 on Windows should be 48
See:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you cor-el, it seems to have worked. I've updated the prefs.js file using a notepad and changed the 2 lines there from 96 to 48 and now it always remains on 48 and I can finally surf without any interruptions, yiipee :)
You're welcome
