Everytime I attempt a download of a large file, the download times out and I get a partial file. How do I increase the period of time before timeout so as to get complete file?

Hi ronhall42, This will depend on the type of download: ftp, save link as, etc, however you can go to the about:config page and search for timeout to find the right one.

This is a reference to their meanings and values http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entrie...
