Make firefox patient again ? #dns
Modify anything in about:config so that firefox becomes more tolerant to slow dns servers, before emmiting 'server not found'. I'm using OpenNIC servers for privacy, and i need to repeatedly hit ctrl+r before website loads. It is clear to me that firefox has a very small waiting period before deciding that a 'server was not found' ie. dns server was slow to respond. I don't want to use another dns server because either my privacy will be compromised or it's slow. No proxies, firewall, etc are a problem. My router caches dns queries, but some entries like facebook have very small TTL values like 1-2min which makes you go to the remote dns server periodically, with the above mentioned problems. I looked up dns in about config, but nothing seems relevant. So can we make firefox a little more patient?

Hello, can you try to play with this 2 options in about:config:
- accessibility.typeaheadfind.enabletimeout to enable or disable the timeout. Value is set to True by default.
- accessibility.typeaheadfind.timeout to increase or decrease the timeout value
Hope this helps.

This solution doesn't do anything for me.
See this old blog post about modifying a registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DNSQueryTimeouts Multi String: "1 2 2 4 8 0" -> "4 8 8 16 32 0"
