In order to remove any preference from the about:config area (in this case the string) just right click (or control click) on it and hit 'Reset' and just restart Firefox. It is going to remove the string. Then just add in the correct boolean. It doesn't really matter anyways, but if it is causing problems then you might want to remove the string.

maxrequests is set to 4 for a very good reason. Setting it to 32 is fairly hostile/inconsiderate to a web server administrator.

Other than that, good tips.
