On given url there is usualy list of links to discussion articles. If you 
select "Open Link in New Tab" from context menu for more links "too fast" some 
of tabs will never finish loading. What is "too fast" depends on speed of 
internet connection. The slower the connection is the less fast you need to be 
in opening new tabs to demonstrate this. There is "about:blank" in url field of 
such tabs ( which makes it imposible to hit Stop & Reload and that sucks). 
Sometimes tabs will load after enormous time (5 - 10 minutes). I am not able to 
reproduce this behavior in clasic mozilla (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 
5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925). I am not sure but this may be related to 
bug 192386 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I get this sitution all of the time on Windows XP and Win2k.  If I get one
request that does this lockup, anything else I do just sits at load for up to a
couple of minutes until whatever was going on times out, at which time
everything after it loads in short order.

This happened with both release 0.7 and the latest trunk.  I use tabbed browsing
and have upped my max-connections-per-server to 32.  But this even happens if I
try to open a link in a new window.

Any time this does happen, I can copy the URL to the clipboard, shut down
firebird, restart it, and it loads the URL nice and quick.

I think this is related to some of the windows peoples' comments in bug 224447

I was opening links in news tabs about 3 per second, which seems pretty fast.
Firefox 0.9 seems to be fixing this problem for me now.
Seems to work OK in newer FF versions.
