Firefox about:config issue

[Lonewolf]

I'm trying to go back in for the first time in a while, and changing some of the parameters in the about:config file in Firefox.

Thing is... with the parameters network.http.max-connections, and, network.http.max-connections-per-server, the current values are 48 and 16 respectively. I'm changing them to 96 and 32 respectively, to increase the page loading speed of Firefox, but after a while - and I don't know if it happens on browser close, or another event - the values reset themselves to the previous numbers (48 and 16).

Any insight as how to make the alterations stick? Thanks in advance.

The former parameter defaults to 900 in my Firefox version, whereas the latter does not exist at all.

Quite possibly you have set the values in user.js, then changes via about:config are lost after a browser restart.

Edited my user.js file and the desired values are sticking (so far), so it looks like that was the fix. Thank you for the assist...
