[FireFox] Download Manger - 2 file limit?

I did some searching and came up empty. So, I'm hoping someone has the answer for me. I just tried downloading(right click, save as) 3 files at the same time using firefox. The first 2 started fine but the third one waited until after a file had completed before prompting me to save. I'm guessing FF has a 2 file simultaneous download limit? If so, how do I increase it?

I'd prefer to make a manual change than install any extension.

Couldn't leave it alone and figured it out. The answer:

about:config.

Filter for "max"

Find: "network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server" and change the value from 2 to something higher.

EDIT: Thanks, Lanik See Profile, for the additional settings. I made those changes as well.
