I am having the same problem.  Had to move back to 3.5.8 to use Firefox.

1. Not a duplicate

2. Can't reproduce with current Nightly build
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0a1
Windows 7 x64

3. The bug is about Firefox timing out on every website connection since the update to Firefox 3.6.2

4. Product and component are classified correctly.

5. n/a

6. Would like to change status to WORKSFORME.
