I need a similar fix for firefox 3.6.2 > Firefox 15 > URL: about:config > search: retry > network.http.connection-retry-timeout;250 3.6.2 doesn't have network.http.connection-retry-timeout, but I found network.http.max-connections and friends, reducing those should reduce the timeouts.  So far so good. I would have never guessed to type "about:config" as a URL. Very useful to know.  Thank you.
