network.http.max-connections and all the others that came up with it which are network.http.max-connections-per-proxy, network.http.max-connections-per-server and network.http.max-urgent-start-excessive-connections-per.host. Can you please explain what each one does and what would happen if I increased the number.

There is normally no need to modify these network.http.max prefs as these values are set in such a way that you do not overload servers and deny others access or otherwise come over as unfriendly (what might be a reason to ban/block you).

Do you have any problems that might be related to these prefs ?
