When I'm at home in Massachusetts USA, pages normally load in less than 30 sec, so there's no problem. Now I'm in Mexico, and a lot of websites just time out after 30 sec. But http.response.timeout was set to 300, so why do they time out after only 30? I also tried changing http.response.timeout to 500, but that made no difference.

Try the two following instructions:

  1. Does the problem occur when you start Firefox in Safe Mode?
  1. Check the prefs.js file in C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile_name>.default (for example with Notepad).
    Can you find the line user_pref("network.http.response.timeout", 300) ? (it can be an other value than 300)

network.http.response.timeout - default is 300 That 300 is 300 seconds = 5 minutes. So your "timeout" after 30 seconds shouldn't be caused by that preference.
