<b><i>Warning: This problem has been fixed for quite some time now. The proposed solutions will not change much. People who have this problem now, likely have it due to a transparent firewall/proxy. It is recommended you first disable firewalls/proxy/internet security temporarily to test if this eliminates the problem.</i></b>
 
 
=About=
Since the release of Firefox 3 there have been dramatic improvements made to the networking code to make it a lot faster. However, there have been some problems introduced with this. Many people have noticed that Firefox 3 will terminate connections early and these connections will timeout. The problem is further exacerbated by Firefox 3 using persistent connections. In this situation your browser will be unable to make any new connections, either to that site, or to all sites depending on how many "frozen" connections you have.
If you are running Windows XP SP2+ you might want to hack your TCPIP.SYS file, to allow your computer to initiate more connections at any one time.
