Firefox 5 is broken for slow connections - when I attempt to open multiple tabs, for example scrolling down HN and opening interesting looking articles in new tabs, later tabs often hang and need to be halted and reloaded to actually download. I am seriously considering going back to FF 3.6 since this did NOT happen before. And FF5 is considered the "stable" version.
ADDED: I think that part of the problem is an "enhanced" upgrade cycle. They have to make changes to justify the "upgrades" (or at least the new version) and stupid people think that new is more important than working good.
When you say, "slow connection," how slow do you mean? Dial-up slow?
