I am at the end of a cable line and therefore my service is suboptimal.
Loading a page can take longer for me than usual with certain sites.
It seems to me that Firefox gives up too soon. I get a timeout message
in something like 30 seconds.

Can I change that?

You can.
Type "about:config" in the FF-address-bar.
Filter on "timeout".
There you'll find values for "network.http.keep-alive.timeout",
2network.proxy.failover_timeout", and so on.
Doubleclick a value and set it higher.
