When I click on link in a website firefox randomly decide to reload the page after it has already loaded it once. It's really irritating. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing the latest version but it still does it. HELP!!!!
After I updated to 3.6.8 I started noticing on a game I play at UniversalCriminal.com that randomly when I click on a link, firefox will load the appropriate page and as soon as it finishes loading that page it will refresh or reload the same page. It doesn't happen on any particular link it just happens randomly, and not all the time but most of the time. I tried reverting back to an earlier version of firefox but it still happened. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the latest version but it still happens. It doesn't do it with IE or Chrome or Opera. What gives? Any ideas anyone?

I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs.
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.
network.http.max-connections 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 8
network.http.pipelining true
network.http.pipelining.firstrequest true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 8
network.http.proxy.pipelining true
network.http.request.max-start-delay 0
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
Well, I tried resetting the network prefs you mentioned and restarted firefox, still had the problem. Shut it down and started it up in firefox safe mode....(icky looking lol!) still had the same problem. I am really stumped. I asked other users of the aforementioned website (all firefox users as well) if they noticed the issue and all of them replied no.
I am stumped.
You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window.
"Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now" "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
