I have been using Firefox for many months now for my job. My job requires me to upload videos, documents to a company portal and I have to use multiple browsing tabs to do various task. This week, I noticed that when I am using 1 tab to upload video or any documents, when I try to start another tab, the video upload process shuts down all internet connection until upload is complete. I can not connect using other tabs or other browsers.

I tested it with my ISP using IE and there is no issues. It is strictly a Firefox issue. I really like using Firefox browser when working because it is easier. Can anyone offer a solution for this problem. I have deleted cookies and cache, reinstalled Firefox. Could it be a recent update? Thank you everyone.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
