Firefox says my proxy server is refusing connections, but other browsers are working.

I was using Firefox one day when the following message was shown: "The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working."
I checked with my network administrator and he said that everthing was fine. I started using Internet Explorer and everything is working. I don't think this is a problem with my server.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

    Please update Firefox to the latest version via "Help > Check for Updates or Help > About Firefox"<br />
    The Firefox 3.5.5 version that you use is no longer maintained with security and stability updates.<br />
    Using unsupported Firefox versions is at your own risk and makes you vulnerable to attacks.<br />
    Users of no longer supported Firefox versions are strongly recommended to update to the latest release that is supported by their system.

  • Firefox will not open. it says to proxy server is refusing connections. please advise

    firefox will not open. the window says that the proxy server is refusing connections.

    go to '''TOOLS''' then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK''' tab then '''SETTINGS''' tab and '''select the options NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK''' again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
    if you like to '''not''' disable the proxy settings choose :
    '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network'''
    thank you

  • I can't get online through firefox (this keeps coming up THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS) but can through internet explorer?

    As I said in the question when I click on the firefox link on the desktop this is what comes up (THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections) but I can get connected through Internet Explorer. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox with no difference.

    I tried all that stuff and none of it helped. I can't load any of the google applications in firefox now. They pop up with this screen.
    This Connection is Untrusted
    You have asked Firefox to connect securely to mail.google.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
    Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
    What Should I Do?
    If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
    mail.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it was issued by an invalid CA certificate. (Error code: sec_error_inadequate_key_usage)
    Now I tried a couple of other sites and they all seemed to work okay, and if necessary I could click understand the risks and still access the site, but no go with google. Considering I use my google account for my calendar and gmail a lot, I am highly disappointed with this new update. I hate using IE and really prefer to use Firefox.

  • Trying to use with TOR - 'Proxy Server is refusing connections' but TOR is connected.

    Added TOR button to Firefox. It could be a TOR problem, but the TOR control panel shows it as connected. When I make TOR enabled and try to go to a website, I get the 'Proxy Server is refusing connections' message.

  • What do I do when it says "The proxy server is refusing connections, etc"?

    Att.net is my home page. I have long used Firefox. When I click on the att.net icon on my opening page, this message pops up:
    The proxy server is refusing connectons.
    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
    * Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct..
    * Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
    I have no idea what this means since I am not PC proficient. I have had to returen to Internet Explorer which is not as satisfactory as Firefox was.
    If a reply is sent, my only request is that it be kept simple.

    To: cor-el
    A thousand thanks for your help. The"No Proxy" check didn't work, so I fooled around with the other selections until "Use System Proxy Settings" did the job. I'm grateful.

    This is what follows the first statement;
    "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections".
    *Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct. (Done)
    *Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
    I have called COMCAST, my internet service provider and they said there is nothing they can do for me.
    I would appreciate an answer to this problem

    The default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't always work properly on Windows XP and in such a case it is better to select "No proxy".

    It just won't connect to the server
    never had this problem

    Firefox 3.6.6 made a change in prefs to use system proxy settings.
    Check your proxy / network setting in Windows and change it to No Proxy, if you don't use a proxy.

  • When attempting to get online I get a message saying "The proxy server is refusing connections Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections" what do I need to do?

    I have a computer running Vista home premiun, it belongs to a co worker with teens, he asked me to check it out because it was not working correctly, I found several issues including a lack of microsoft updates (140 +) and a response to a question about defragging as "what???". I have now uploaded all current microsoft updates, and gone thru and remove all extras. I also loaded Secunia PSI, and scanned a number of times to ensure that everything loaded is up to date. I pretty much run all the same software on my own computers (3) and have neer encountered any issue.

    Please try to set Firefox to use '''no proxy''' - [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_connection]] explains how.
