Firefox Sync sync error notification pop up - how to extend from 7 days to more?

I have my own sync server for Firefox, which I shut down when I'm going for holidays. Then after a 7 days Firefox starts to display a warning message in the bottom of the window about the fact that within 7 days it could not sync.

Is there a way to extend this 7 days period into a longer one?

I saw some settings in about:config page, but I do not want to mess it up and none of the option seems to keep this 7 days period value.

Hi,

Please try changing services.sync.errorhandler.networkFailureReportTimeout. The value converted from seconds matches seven days.

It is working. I changed it to 24 days and so far I have no pop up. Thanks Vivek.Wilfred! :)
