Hi. I am trying to change "network.http.redirection-limit" value in "about:config".

I tried 10000, and it shows now "network.http.redirection-limit = 10000", but when I try to run my script, it stops in 255.

It's not working for 10000 times, it just stops in 255.

Any way to make this value higher than 255 ?

Hi, try to lock the preference to see if works that way, 255 is a protection to not crash the browser.

You can't. Some prefs are clamped that this pref is clamped to 0xff. 

958     if (PREF_CHANGED(HTTP_PREF("redirection-limit"))) {
959         rv = prefs->GetIntPref(HTTP_PREF("redirection-limit"), &val);
960         if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv))
961             mRedirectionLimit = (uint8_t) clamped(val, 0, 0xff);
