Changing Default timeout in Selenium IDE
Look into above image, there is one text box with label "Default timeout value of recorded command in milliseconds". You can change default timeout value from that text box. By default, it will be 30000 milliseconds. Default timeout value affects on execution of selenium IDE script. Suppose you set 50000 milliseconds then during execution, every command can take maximum 50000 milliseconds for execution. If command can not complete execution in given time then selenium IDE will return error like "[error] Timed out after 30000 ms".
