How can I change the connection timeout setting in Firefox?

Question

When I load a page which can't be connected for some reasons, before Firefox shows the error "The connection has timed out", I will wait for about three minutes. I want change the Firefox connection timeout value to 20 seconds. I found something here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1342310/where-can-i-find-the-default-timeout-settings-for-all-browsers, but it doesn't mention how to set the connection timeout value, please help!

You can change the timeout settings by typing "about:config" in the address bar and then filtering on "timeout".
