I'm running Vista and recently upgraded from Firefox 3.6.12 to Firefox 7.0.1. Since then my home pages take WAY too long to load at start-up, even after disabling AVG add-ons. Tried uninstallilng, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting -- same problem. Didn't have the problem using IE8, so concluded the problem was with Firefox 7.0.1. Uninstalled 7.0.1 and went back to 3.6.12 -- problem resolved. I'd like to run the latest version. Any idea what the problem was?

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 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
