If you set your max connections at 40, the server will treat it as a dos attack and cut you off.

And Make The Cache Storage Up To "999999999"


Why would you do that? A large cache would actually slow performance down. Just leave this at the default.

A cache which is too large will decrease performance because FF has to search through it for existing entries. It also takes up more disk space. Leave it at the deault.
