I am on a dialup and every so often when I have restarted the dialup with three or more tabs up everything STOPS working.  This also includes the HELP.  Nothing happens other than each time I try to refresh I see the red stop sign flash even though I am just trying to refresh the page.  Why does this happen more and more each time there is an update?

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Can not reproduce it just happens every so often.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
N/A

Expected Results:  
N/A

I thought this had been fixed.  By the way this only happens on my MacBook with the Intel chip inside.

Have you tried:

- Firefox's safe-mode to exclude extension/theme problems
- a new profile
- a reinstall in a new empty folder?

Reporter, can you still reproduce the problem using the latest Firefox version?
If not, can you resolve this bug as WORKSFORME?
