How to Change Firefox Timeout Setting.
I have noticed that Firefox times out very quickly. How do you extend that so it doesn't time out so quickly?

I was just searching for advice on this and found:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... tion+timed
Which suggests:
2) Add several seconds to the value of the network.http.connect.timeout key.
BTW & FWIW, this has become a much more common occurence for me since updating to FF9.2--could be that coincidentally our network slowed down as the same time, but???

I'm not a network guy but it looks to me like this advice may be out of date. Give it a try, by all means. If it doesn't help, try bumping the value of network.http.keep-alive.timeout. For this to have any effect you may also need to use the HTTP/1.0 protocol, rather than the default 1.1. Do that by setting network.http.version to the string 1.0. If you're using a proxy server, you may also want to adjust the equivalent network.http.proxy.* settings. (Type network.http into the about:config Filter field to see a list of interesting http prefs.)
I've never needed to mess with these things. I'd be curious to hear what worked.

Timeout settings.
I too have tried changing the timeout without success. But I did fix my problem, in a completely different way.
I looked through my registry at the run key and noticed something that was spyware, or adware. I removed those entries and then ran ad aware. After running ad aware I foudn some more registry keys that needed to be deleted. After I did that and rebooted I havent had a problem since. The reason that made me thing of it being a browser problem and not a network (per say) problem was that my p2p file sharing was working fine, it was the browser that was giving me fits. (on random websites)
My problem might not be the exact same as yours, but Im listing my exact problem below to see if it helps anyone else.
===================
When starting firebird (sometimes) , it gives me a dns (timeout) error going to my home page. (my.yahoo.com)
When clicking a favorite it gives me a dns (timeour) error (sometimes) (about 40% of the time)
When creating a new tab and firebird trys to load my home page (my.yahoo.com) it gives a dns error (aoubt 50% of the time)
When typing in URL's by hand, it usually worked. (all the time I think but not sure)
If I clicked refresh after every timeout error, it would work on the 3 or 4 time.
Hope this helps someone..

Got this off the forum. Put it in my user.js and haven't had a time-out since. Hope it helps.
