alerts.totalOpenTime
I was going thru the help screen in one of my add-ons. It told me; adjust the duration of alert box being displayed by changing the default setting It said to type about:config in the address bar, then find alerts.totalOpenTime and change its value. I looked, but could not find anything with this name. I also looked under; alerts, total, Open, and Time. Anyone know what I should be looking for?

While reading thru one of the trouble caused by info packs, I came across a way to extend the time before Firefox gives the script has stopped error message. I had wanted to check it out.

hello, are you referring to this site: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/15145-firefox-set-the-duration-for-which-alerts-are-displayed?
the preference referred there doesn't seem to exist per default in firefox any longer. what are you trying to achieve by it? you could try to right-click somewhere in about:config & to create a new integer preference by this name and see if this has a desired affect.
the time for the notification about finished downloads in firefox now seems to be specified in browser.download.manager.showAlertInterval instead.

this is set in the dom.max_script_run_time preference.
This is now a fixed constant.
const ALERT_DURATION_IMMEDIATE = 4000;

I looked thru all the article links above. Lots in information, but nothing really useful. Some talked about a different name for the time-out value, but I could not find them either, Thanks to all for your help.
