Firefox – Disable http timeout in the Firefox 29.0

firefox

How to disable timeout in Firefox 29.0 / Ubuntu 14.04?

I have some web scripts that need time (up to 30 minutes) to complete.

The connection has timed out

The server at ... is taking too long to respond.

I tried to change network.http.connection-timeout to 99999 but timeout message still pops up after 1-2 minutes…

In previous version (28.0? not sure…) firefox used to wait forever which was OK for me (there was no need to change config)

Currently I run my scripts using wget but executing scripts in proper net browser was way more convenient for me.

In the list of changes between version 28 and 29 the key network.http.response.timeout was set to 300. Try to change it to something higher.
