Support for custom HTTP header: X-Max-Connections

Hi! I develop embedded web servers. They have only one socket, so can have only one TCP/IP (HTTP) connection. (I mean, HTTP/1.1 mode, with keep-alive turned on). Firewox won't work with it out-of-box, because, as any other browser, tries to load additional web content (pics, etc) via new connections, and fails. But i am able to limit Firefox's max connections to one, manually. But then other websites won't work. It is a pain to continously tune browser via about:config page. So the question is, How to add support for new header (say, 'X-Max-Connections') which included in my web server answer, to Firefox. Firefox should then limit max connections for this particularly server to specified value. This behaviour (limiting connections on server side) can be very useful for many other places, because it will make browser work at best possible way for any type of server (when other servers start to support 'X-Max-Connections' token). Thank you so much!
