Firefox keeps causing internet conenction to drop when I try to load a session

I'm using Firefox 11 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I'm using a cable modem and a wireless router, with my computer connected to the router via Ethernet, and this problem is driving me absolutely INSANE! When I try to reload a session in Firefox, it causes my Internet connection to drop, and I end up having to power cycle my router, and often my modem, too. What in the world could cause it to this? I've tried different modems. I've tried different routers. I've tried reducing the number of tabs in the session. No luck. I've already wasted an awful lot of time on this, and I'm looking for some targeted, specific assistance regarding what might be causing this to happen, and what I can do about it. I don't want to waste too much time shooting around in the dark, just trying enabling and disabling different extensions at random, for instance, to see if that might be causing the problem. I am EXTREMELY frustrated and upset, and I'm in no mood to go through the aggravation and wasted time of all that blind flailing. So, what specific things could be causing my problem, what specific things should I be looking for, and what specific things should I try in order to attempt to remedy this situation? For instance, might it be something like limiting the number of pages it loads simultaneously while it's loading a session, and, if so, how do I do that? Or am I completely off base on that speculation? Again, I'm looking for some targeted assistance in order to try to limit the amount of wasted time and aggravation I have to put up with. So, can anyone help me with that?

Something you installed has changed your user-agent. In your post under "User Agent", the "YFF3" is suspicious.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent
<u>'''Reset general user-agent'''</u>
-type '''about:config''' in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
-if you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
-Filter = general.useragent.extra.firefox
-the item will be '''bold''' and show '''user set'''
-right-click that preference and select Reset
-restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

I had this working flawlessly with an earlier version of a website I was working on. I haven't changed any settings, the only thing that has changed is that I'm working with a new sub folder in the root directory. Every time I try to load the page, I get that error message. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help! Thanks.

Also EdgeCode doesn't have troubleshooting page but you can get help from Brackets trouble shooting page.

Firefox works fine on Windows 2000 SP4 for me.
Any chance you have a dial-up connection that uses a web accelerator to speed the loading of content?

I don't know if you are still having the issue but if you are have you contacted your ISP? It sounds to me like it's more of a connectivity issue than a browser problem. I've dealt with similar things several times and in both cases it was something with the modem or an ISP setting.
I'm also wondering if it could be a Wi-Fi issue. Can you log in to your router? (It varies by brand but you would go to a site such as http://192.168.10.1. That is for Trendnet. The information for yours should be in the documentation that came with it.)
You should be able to get the router log in page to come up even if you can't connect to any websites. (Provided the network is set up correctly.)
I also would double check your connection settings (if you're connecting over Wi-Fi) or your ethernet connection. (If you're connected directly to the modem and router.)
Hopefully one of these suggestions will be helpful.

Why does my cellphone keep saying that estimating time remaining when I try to upgrade the system?

Why does my cellphone keep saying that "estimating time remaining" when I try to upgrade the system?
Is there anyway to fix this situation?

Hi Eric_Sun,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to update your iPhone using iTunes on a computer if your device only shows "estimating time remaining" when you try to update wirelessly:
If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Plug in your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device.
In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
Click Download and Update.
If you see an error message while updating your device, you can learn how to resolve iOS update errors in iTunes.
You can find these steps here:

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

Iget this when I try to open a session....Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.task mngr shows no open firefox processes.

I then downloaded the newest version, installed it and I still get the error message as before. HELP!!!! I loved the browser program when it was working before and would rather use it than other browsers.

No one here can say specifically why. But you need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. Click the Suppor tab above then the link under the Contact Us area and you'll be take to a page where you'll be guided appropriately.
