How to increase timeout when network timeout message occurs on sites "far away"
Hi!
In general, my internet runs fine. But sometimes I have to call websites from the opposite side of the world. I assume that the internet connection thereto is lame and maybe interference-prone. Hence, about 20 seconds after entering the URL, Firefox gives me a network timeout message.
Is there a way to increase or disable timeout?
I already looked into about:config and filtered for "timeout", but there are soooo many settings which could be related to my problem. Which one do I have to modify?

The ones you want start with network.http....
It will depend on the type of connection that is being made. Timeout, retry and keep-alive depend on the original HTTP request made by the browser on behalf of you. (This means that the server sets the keep alive or cache request. )
The general main ones you can confidently edit are these ones: network.http.connect.timeout and network.http.request.timeout The integers are in seconds. 30 = 30 seconds.
I hope that helps.
