As of approximately 1 1/2 weeks ago I can no longer login to iGoogle or GMail-get a message "The connection was reset". I can access the actual iGoogle page pre-login and all other websites and can login with IE8. Tried the suggestions listed in Help.

Firefox 5/running Windows 7 Professional SP1/ on a Dell/Core 2 Duo 64 bit
It worked when I initially got the machine, it works in IE8 and on my other computer in the same office/same network running XP Professional SP3 and Firefox 3.6.18

Apparently, there was something corrupt in my Profile. I backed up my default profile, created a new one and copied over the critical folders and files - the addons; backedup bookmarks, places.sqlite; password info in key3.db and signons.sqlite.
Issue resolved.

Why arent any videos working on my firefox browser? Youtube has an error message, and all other videos and ads come up with a blank white screen

It's one of those problems where it works like one minute, and then suddenly stops working the next. I know for a fact it has to do with the flash player in some way. I've had this problem before and found the solution, but for some reason i cant find it again, and forgot how i solved it. I've tried to redownload both adobe flash player and firefox but it didnt solve anything, disabling adblock doesnt help, disabling the hardware acceleration a little but useless difference, i have tried to disable the flash player add-ons and enabled them, both dont work, i only have 1 version of flashplayer( the most recent), and I am too frustrated to keep searching for an answer that is correct, when all i can find are the wrong ones over and over again . If anyone knows how to solve the problem where the FIREFOX(only) browser shows youtube as having the error " an error has occurred. Please try again later. " and all other videos and ads have a white blank screen, PLEASE help
also, everything works on google chrome and IE

also, the last solution i had didnt require me to install an earlier version of flashplayer or firefox, and it was the same problem

I can't connect to bbc website in firefox. Each time I get the same message: "the connection was reset". Can anyone help? (Already tried clearing cache and cookies).

Is your problem with streaming audio broadcasts to and are you outside the UK ?
If so you may have fallen prey to the BBC's Content Distribution Network which often seems to produce problems they keep re-issuing advice such as:

When uploading photos to Photobucket or Imgur or select forums either nothing happens at all or I get the "connection was reset" error. I have no problem uploading photos to other forums and FB. Firewall disabled, Spyware Doctor OFF, UAC off. Win 7-64.

I have cleared the cache and history on both IE and firefox. When I try to upload photos to Photobucket, I get "IOException" and when I try to upload photos to paleoplanet (yuku) I get the "The connection was reset" firefox error. I can upload photos to FB and other forums just fine. I tried to use Imgur instead of Photobucket and I get a similar failure.

Hi Trond,
Extremely helpful observations here. Am sure quite some folks will hit this thread!

Gargoyle https router logon not working after version 27, when I try and logon it just says the connection was reset. works fine with 27.0.1 must be a bug

I use a Gargoyle quota management router which has web access through https. It works fine with Firefox version 27.0.1 , and has worked for years with no problems. Somewhere after version 27.0.1 a bug was introduced which prooduces the error message "Problem loading page, The connection was reset, The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" each time I go to the routers address. Reverting to 27.0.1 fixes the problem and it also works fine with Interney Explorer so it is not a firewall problem.

HI techman88,
Thank you for your question. I understand that the password for your router is no longer working in Firefox 27. Please download the new version of Firefox from your working browser and reset the profile.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
To reset Firefox go to about:support and and click Reset Firefox. However if there is a saved password in this profile you can manage the passwords under Options > Security> Passwords. Please check this out as well.

I am playing in Pogo and cannot open the games even though the homepage and others will open. The message is THE CONNECTION WAS RESET WHILE THE PAGE WAS LOADING. How do I fix this???

I am playing in Pogo and cannot open the games even though the homepage and others will open. The message is THE CONNECTION WAS RESET WHILE THE PAGE WAS LOADING.
All my friends are playing and it seems I am the only one have this problem.

The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

The connection was reset message only appearing on mozillas support and addons site

I received an error message involving a proxy when i tried going on netflix. I have the add on "media hint" which redirects the proxy through it, so i uninstalled it intending to reinstall hoping that would fix it, but i never even got that far.
When i went to the mozilla add on site, it said the connection was reset while loading the page. It said the same thing on the support forums (im on my phone now). I thought it was an https problem, but the irony is the only sites getting this error message were some mozilla sites. They work fine in other browsers.
I tried every solution i could think of or find on the internet and nothing has worked.

Firefox says "The Connection was Reset," but internet works in all other browsers

Whenever I open Firefox, it says "The Connection was Reset" on all pages. But, when I open Google Chrome the internet works without problems. I have already tried to change the proxy settings, but that didn't work.

Maybe also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

I receive a "Problem Loading Page" message, "The Connection Was Reset." I've tried all your tip.

I receive the "connection was reset" message on 90% of my attempts to visit websites. All sites are bookmarked and safe. I printed out all help information and tried the forum. I am using Windows 8.1. Some of the help instructions seem to be for XP or another OS. The directions do not have certain locations in the help instructions on Win. 8.
I really have enjoyed Firefox over Internet Explorer but it is really frustrating to have this happening all the time.
Thanks for any help!

Most of the time I get The Connection Was Reset. Can someone tell me why this happens?

When I click on Firefox or when browsing or going from one site to the other I get "The connection was reset" then have to click on Try Again.
Can someone tell me why this is happening?
Thank you.
THE CONNECTION WAS RESET again this morning. I even get this message when I click on the Firefox Icon to get on the net. When for example I download something then it returns me to their site I get The Connection Was Reset. When I uninstall a program and it sends to to their site in order to answer as to why I am uninstalling their program then I get The Connection Was Reset.
Every time this happens I have to click on Try Again and find this to be annoying.
This does not happen once or twice a week, it happen ALL THE TIME.
This morning I went to Safe Mode and followed the instructions on INTERRUPTED OR RESET CONNECTION which tells us what to do but this did not work either.
Would be great if someone was able to let me know what to do in order to prevent this message appearing all the time.

Do not know how to delete this reply. I replied instead of editing my question. I have edited the above now.

When I open Firefox I get an error saying "Connection was reset". I went through the articles and did what they said for a situation like this but it didn't fix it. However you can help would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time. Tyron

It also says underneath "Connection was reset" "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." Despite doing what the articles said to do in this situation it hasn't solved it yet.

HI, and thank you for your reply. I am a bit confused however as I would have thought that once I turned off the engine of my car the transmitter and ipod would be also off???? Is there still power coming into the cigarette lighter when the car is off>????? i have a mercedes c class. The cigarette lighter is still working and the transmitter is still working. Are you saying that by leaving them still plugged in even though the car was idle and not running it still destroyed the hard drive???? Also could this happen if a person leaves it docked in a radio cd player but is not listening to it, is it still charging and could this have burned out the hard drive. (i always left it docked) until i bought the transmitter for the car.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated as obviously I do not want to make the same mistake again.
kind regards

Trying to access https site with a cert, got "The connection was interrupted" error after 30 seconds of waiting time before clicking on OK. But I can get in by clicking on Try Again button.

I have a web site running on https. Every users need certificates to get in.
I found out that if I didn't submit my cert within 30 seconds, Firefox displayed "The connection was interrupted". This problem is repeatable. But if I click on "Try Again" button on the error page, I can get in all the time.
This problem doesn't happen on IE.
Can you provide any tips to avoid seeing the error page?

It is a miracle - After about 9 months without itunes, the new release installed on my machine today and appears to be working.
7.0.0.70 is the verion I just installed.
Another note to add to this now resolved issue. I bought an AirPort Express and I was not able to install the Admin software on the CD. I received the same error as I received with iTunes and Quicktime. This leads me to believe that this problem is in the registry or some other installer issue that is specific to Apple installations. I will have to go home and try to re-install that software. Maybe the new iTunes version cleared up the problem.

As of approximately 1 1/2 weeks ago I can no longer login to iGoogle or GMail-get a message "The connection was reset". I can access the actual iGoogle page pre-login and all other websites and can login with IE8. Tried the suggestions listed in Help.
