when downloading i can only download one link at a time per window. i used to be able to download six links at a time per page. how do i go back to this?
got a new laptop. unsure of firefox verson on old as the computer quit taking a charge.
but essentially on my old laptop if a window had six downloadable links i would be able to download all six at once. now i can only download one link at a time. this is very annoying. i do not believe it is an issue with the new laptop itself as it is a highend toshiba.

Hello cherokeeguy, go to about:config find network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server right-click on it, select modify and put a greater value, try 10 or 16, click ok to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
BUT this normally should not happen !
check it also in Safe Mode, select "Start in Safe Mode" and see if this happen again, if not see: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
also try to update to the latest firefox 16.0.1
thank you

You can also check the network.http.* prefs on the about:config page.
Reset network.http prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu -> Reset if they are user set (bold).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
alright that worked for about two weeks and now it is doing it again. wont play mvie links, and wont download likes off of a page, more than one at a time. i updated to the newest mozilla and redid my settings and it is still doing it....
Are or were all the network.http prefs the default or are there any that are user set?
Also note that servers may ban or restrict you if you try to make too many simultaneous connections because that block others from accessing the server, so be cautious with increasing prefs, the defaults (network.http.max-connections-per-server [15] and network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy [8]) should work.
