it seems you are using random proxies from some proxylist. those often either don't work at all or are really slow, so they need a high timeout. additionally the sandbox mechanisms of firefox seems to interfere, so in order to figure out whether you can use proxychains like this try with a local proxy you control, for example microsocks.
