Connection was reset when browsing a single site.

Whenever I browse just the battle.net group of forums (Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, etc) I get a Connection was reset error. The site loads normally if I refresh the page or go back and click the link again.
It only happens with the battle.net sites, all other sites are fine.
I've performed the regular duties; clear cache/cookies, start in safe mode, reboot computer, reset router, etc. The problem still occurs. I thought it might be my antivirus (AVG) but the problem persists when I disable that.
I even thought it might be due to the upgrade to FF36, but downgrade back to FF35 hasn't helped either.

I don't run a proxy, and there's not one set up on my computer (internet options control panel checked).
EDIT: <strike>I think Adblock Plus might be interfering, so I'll tentatively mark this as solved, although ABP shouldn't have been running in safe mode.. odd.</strike>
EDIT2: Nope, still happening with ABP off. :-(

Update back to 36 since it happens on both. If there have been any updates to this since your post, please also provide these steps for further investigation.
Since this is only happening on certain websites:

I am getting "Connection was reset" when trying to load any of the "My Yahoo" pages. Other sites appear to work, and trying the FAQ suggestions did not work

When I tried to log into my my.yahoo.com page, entering my user ID and password, I got the following error message:
'''The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
I am able to open the same page in Windows Explore 6.0 and 8.0, and when using Firefox on a different machine
Also, last week, everything worked just fine.
So it appears that something must have happened to the
configuration on this machine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx,

The connection was reset when navigating eBay FF15

The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
Works fine with IE8 Just received update for FF15 today(8/31/12), did not have issue with previous release yesterday.
I've already tried clearing cookies, cache etc.

Wonders of wonders, magically, it went away. I had the same issue with FF15 and eBay both at home and at work. Miraculously, someone fixed something either with FF15 or eBay, and it is gone.
Not my router.
Not my cookies.
Not my anything.

Why when I try to go in some sites it writes "connection was reseted" when before it was all ok? how to remove it or something. Why it is reseting something?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/787957]</blockquote> 
what should I do to connect properly?

Do the steps at [[error loading web sites#w_interrupted-or-reset-connection]] help?

I get "The connection was reset" when trying to open Hotmail from my bookmarks. Why?

None of the solutions provided along with this message seem to apply.

The server may just be busy.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Also check the firewall to be sure that it isn't blocking or restricting Firefox in any way.

"Connection was reset"; only fix right now is rebooting computer

Several times each day I get a "connection was reset" when visiting a particular site. I've gone through the forum and tried such suggested fixes as resetting Firefox, clearing cache, history, cookies, disabling antivirus temporarily, etc. All of these do not fix the problem; go back into Firefox and the "connection was reset" message comes up right away once site is visited. Only way to "reset" the error is to reboot the machine at which point the site will work for a bit but sooner or later "connection was reset" problem comes back again at which point computer gets rebooted once again. Thought maybe it was specific to the site in question but can open up Opera 25 and have no problems whatsoever with the same site. Any ideas? Only "clue" I have to this thing is that something about the system reboot allows the browser and site to work for a short time before error occurs again.

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

The connection was reset + Secure connection failed

Hello, I am using firefox on the web and I keep encountering the same error message that the connection was reset when I try to access webpages. Following the article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1024256 did not solve the problem as it only fixed it for google.com and no other website, however when I hold down shift and reload the page it will reload, sometimes in basic html. Operating in safe mode will bring up these pages in basic text without graphics.
Sometimes, it will instead show the message Secure Connection Failed for trusted websites such as news agencies.
I have disabled my themes and add-ons but the problem still persists.
I woud like some guidance on how to go about fixing this problem. Thanks! :)

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Could not purchase "Mr. Hurricane". The network connection was reset.

Anybody else getting "network connection was reset" when trying to get the free USA single of the week?
My 8.01 network diagnostics say everything's OK. I get the same message when trying to look at my account.

Yea, I'm getting an error also, although it's a different one (-4 I think is the number) and it screws my whole OS up and I have to reboot. I can't get any of the other free titles or redeem Starbucks free singles. They must be having some server issues. Usually clears up later in the day when I have problems like this.

I have to upload a scanned receipt to a website and I get the error message "connection was reset". I have uploaded these receipt for two years and last week I have had to use another browser to complete this operation. I connect to the website and do the report I must do, but I can no longer upload to this site.

Are you using any additional software for the uploading?
Try using Firefox in [[safe mode]] when you upload. There is no need to make changes when you see the option. Disable all plugins whilst in safe mode. Then try the uploads.
You mention [/questions/921993 elsethread] that it is a work site. Have you contacted your IT department. One possibility is that the site is not recognising Firefox 10.
(One temporary workaround and troubleshhooting test would be to install Firefox3.6.27 [http://portableapps.com/news/2012-02-01_-_firefox_portable_3.6.26_released portable] as an additional browser and try that.)

Why has Firefox 16.0.2 under Windows 7 started to give "connection was reset" error only when accessing Yahoo Tech Goups, except first access of the day?

On first access of the day to Yahoo technical groups, I can always retrieve the opening screen, but get no further. Almost all subsequent accesses in that day to Yahoo tech groups using this computer return a "connection was reset error", although I have very occasionally seen a successful access. Rebooting the computer makes no difference. No other websites that I visit give this problem.
I am running Windows7 (auto updates) and Firefox 16.0.2. This is a problem that started about 3 weeks ago, possibly directly after a Windows7, Adobe Reader or a Firefox update. I have tried clearing all cookies and the cache in Firefox. The problem is not seen on other computers running different operating system versions or different browsers that are accessing the Yahoo site through the same internet gateway.

Thanks again for your suggestions and links. I have gone through those, and am sorry to say I am not really any further forward. I have also gone systematically through the yahoo cookies, deleting one at a time. The only one that makes any difference is the T cookie, which must retain the login status as deleting it forces a login at the next access. After a login I get up to about a minute of Yahoo tech group activity before the "connection was reset" error pervades. All the Yahoo cookies are back in place when this happens. Using Private Browsing makes no difference to this behaviour.

I cannot upload photos into a web site-no problems with previous versions of firefox or IE(get error message The connection was reset)

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.
