How to Increase Page Load Timeout in Firefox

Konstantin Dokuchaev -

If you are in a place where the internet is extremely slow, you might encounter an issue where the page reports a timeout. As a result, you end up with a blank page, even though if you waited a bit longer, the site would have loaded completely.

You can try to solve this problem by increasing the timeout period in Firefox settings. To do this, go to the about:config page in the address bar and agree to make changes.

Next, you need to find and change the values of two parameters to more suitable ones.

  1. network.http.connection-timeout (default is 90 seconds) - Increase this value to extend the connection waiting time.
  2. network.http.response.timeout (default is 300 seconds) - Increase this value to extend the response waiting time.

After these settings are changed, you can continue browsing the web without interruptions.
