Question

After installing Firefox 6 MANY web site will not finish loading. I disabled all add-ons and still have the problem. If I disable javascript, the pages will load. When the page is trying to load, if I hit "stop loading this page" and then hit "reload this page", the page will load; but sometimes I have to do this 2-3 times for the page to finish loading. No problem with these pages using IE8.

I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs.<br />
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.<br />
network.http.max-connections 48<br />
network.http.max-connections-per-server 16<br />
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 16<br />
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 8<br />
network.http.pipelining true<br />
network.http.pipelining.firstrequest true<br />
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 8<br />
network.http.proxy.pipelining true<br />
network.http.request.max-start-delay 0<br />
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
