fix browser timeouts?

#1 Post by boof »

I'm using firefox with xenialpup64-7.5. and trying to connect to aldi's prize site with no success.
I want to give ff more time to connect to site as they are claiming the site busy, but I think it's a deliberately delayed response to exclude/restrict access to prize claimants. pls advise. I am in a remote, low priority access area compared to the server? i'm assuming timeout is controlled at my end, not by their server?

Try this:


Open Firefox & type in ‘about:config’ in the address bar & press Enter.
Click on the 'I'll be careful, I promise' button.
Type ‘timeout’ in the search box.
Scroll down to network.http.response.timeout parameter.
Doube click on the ‘network.http.response.timeout’ parameter & enter the time value (it is in seconds) that you don't want your session not to timeout.
Give it a higher setting.

thanks, but no such page as about.config. does this require an account/signin?

edit:
