I am working on an HP Compaq laptop using a wi-fi connection to o2 broadband.
Here is an example that I opened in my Outlook account this evening,

When I click onto the "Read Full Article..." tab I go to the Mozilla Firefox page which says there is a problem loading page - Mozilla Firefox, and then get the "The proxy server is refusing connections" and the o2 Broadband assistant then kicks in and starts trying to find the connections even though o2 broadband is connected.
I have tried re-installing Firefox but this does not improve the situation which is frustrating as I have to send everything to my work account so that I can read any further information.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection

Check the connection settings.

Running windows 7 firefox refuses to come up, proxy server is refusing connections network adminiastrater says proxy servers are correct and is issue with firefox what do I do/ do

I start up firefox and it says the proxy server is refusing connection. It is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. To check the proxy servers and ask network administrater to make sure proxy server is correct They say the proxy server is correct and it is a firefox problem. So what to I do now?

Make sure that the Firefox connection settings are the same as in IE.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
You can compare them with the IE settings in the Internet Options (Control Panel).

From Mozilla, a non-profit organization and developer of Firefox
Hi there,
As 2011 comes to a close, we at Mozilla want to say thank you to all of our Firefox users, supporters and community members. Quite simply, we do what we do because of you.
Mozilla is the force behind Firefox, but we're also a whole lot more than that. And the more people I talk to, the clearer it becomes that not everyone knows what Mozilla is and how we're different. So today, I wanted to make sure you understand it because you're such an important part of our story.
Mozilla is a global non-profit fighting to keep the Internet safe, accessible and awesome. Our goal is to put the power of the Web in people's hands and to innovate for users everywhere. That means a better experience for you and a brighter future for the Web.
So what does that look like? We put together a short video that tells the story of what is possible when a small group of people – a community of idealists, innovators and collaborators – comes together to create, shape and build the future of the Web. Please take a moment to watch the video. If you like it, share it far and wide and consider making a tax-deductible gift to help support the work that we're doing together.
Mozilla is always developing new projects that allow people to dream, discover and create online. Whether it's Hackasaurus, our project that teaches kids to remix and shape the Web in a way that sets them up for a lifetime of creation, or Popcorn, which lets anyone bring the Web into video, we're building software and programs that will create the next generation of webmakers.
But as a non-profit, we can only do that if folks just like you support us.
As the year is almost over – and as part of our ongoing fundraising efforts – I'd like to ask you to make a gift of just $10 or more:
https://donate.mozilla.org/End-Of-Year
With your help, we can continue to innovate on your behalf without any pressure to compromise, and make the future of the Web brighter than ever. We invite you to be part of something bigger than the Web – something bigger than all of us.
Sincerely,
Mark

Everytime i open the firefox it shows me error "The proxy server is refusing connections" for this everytime i have to manually select the auto detect. I

This is happening from last one month. i set the proxy setting to auto-detect and it works fine. but then i close firefox and start it again shows me same error. so everytime i start firefox i have to change the setting to auto-detect.
Is there any permanent solution for it.?

HI
First of all are you using any proxy for internet access. If you do nat have a proxy, try to change the settings to No proxy.

I have been using Firefox with no problems recently updated to new version and now getting message "The proxy server is refusing connection firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connection" what do I do?? thanks

As above, was using the updated version for a short time before this happened

You may have installed an extension that made changes to the connection settings.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why everytime I open Firefox it says "The proxy server is refusing connections"?

I am having this trouble on my laptop at home and in work!! different internet connections

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.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings". 
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

"Proxy server is refusing connections" error message, fixed with Network Settings but won't save my preferences. Have tried everything!

I always have to go
Firefox>Option>Network>Settings>Select Auto-Detect Proxy
Every time I open firefox.
I read the "Preferences Not Saved" Help but I don't have a User file in my Containing Folder, so I couldn't change that.
Deleted my prefs.js files, but when it automatically made a new one it was still stuck on "Manual Proxy Settings" which leads to the "Proxy server is refusing connections" error.
Any new ideas? Please?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

The question is ... Did you buy them, accidentally or otherwise? They are all part of iLife, the latest version of which is iLife 11.
iMovie/Garage band can all be bought through the App store as separate programs; iPhoto is a free update.

Can send but not receive comcast emails with Verizon MIFI jetpack

I am unable to receive comcast email using outlook 2007 using my new Verizon MIFI4620L Jetpack. When I disconnect from the Jetpack, I am able to receive emails using my neighbor's wireless router. I am able to send email using the MIFI Jetpack. When I test email settings, I am able to connect to comcast and send a test email. I am able to receive the test email from Microsoft. I am able to access email using the internet at comcast.net and I am able to use web browsers using the Mifi device. My other laptop is able to receive and send emails using the MIFI device. I currently have uninstalled Norton Internet Security and disabled windows firewall on the problematic computer in an attempt to resolve this.
Any ideas?

There seems to be alot of Comcast email issues with the MiFi 4620L. Most of them have been resolved with the propper configuration. We have already found a few limitations to certain websites with this device, but none have been confirmed to be related to email services so far.
Some helpful sites I found:
http://www.emailquestions.com/email-program-setup-configuration/1180-setup-comcast-email-outlook-2007-a.html
http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/configure-outlook-2007-to-use-port-587/
http://forums.comcast.com/t5/E-Mail-and-Xfinity-Connect-Help/E-Mail-Client-Settings-customer-generated/td-p/778889
See if a quick configuration check will resolve your issues from the links I have provided. If not then the next best step may be reinstalling Outlook on your computer. Keep us posted either way.
