Firefox cannot load some websites connection was reset is the response. have tried clearing cookies and cache and running malware software with no luck

The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
i can load these websites with internet explorer but not firefox example: dickssportinggoods.com and sportsauthority.com

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

- Have you tried going to the developer's support website/contacting the developer?
- Try a reset. It surs many ills and nothng is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

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???

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.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.

I can connect http://www.bbc.co.uk/ & you may be interested in http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/diagnostics
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:

The connection was reset whilst the page was loading

For the last 4 days i've been unable to connect to IGN ever since their server went down for about 5 minutes. I keep getting "The connection was reset whilst the page was loading."
I've cleared my recent history, cookies and even rebooted my computer and modem. I don't know what else to do in order to get IGN to work again, I know it isn't down... just no way it would be down 4+ days even if it was currently down as of typing (which it isn't). What else can I do in order to get it working again? This also happens on all browsers, not just Firefox.
Thanks

The site is live.
In Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''Network''' > '''Settings''', please try selecting '''No Proxy''', if anything else is selected.
Also, check if you can do a '''tracert ign.com''' in a command window (Windows key + '''R''', type '''cmd''' and '''OK'''). If there are errors the ISP may be blocking the site.
Please also check your current IP address:
http://ip-blacklist.e-dns.org/

Firefox cannot load all websites in e10s window. But Firefox can load all websites in e10s window.

It shows mostly, Tab crashed Well, this is embarrassing.
Well, this is embarrassing. We tried to display this Web page, but it's not responding.
Tell Mozilla about this crash so they can fix it.
Or sometimes for the last tab it shows :
Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading
Of course other browsers works 'perfectly' onto loading sites.
What can I do. Is this an e10s bug, that I could help to qualify and how?
Also looking for a workaroud. I want to restore my tabs onto a non-e10s window, but really don't figure how to do that. Means, after relaunching FF-nightly, restore my windows and tabs.
He still give me this message :
Nightly is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. blah blah...
I want to disable e10s as of for now, until he will maybe work again.

If you would like to disable e10s please follow these steps:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Enabling_and_Disabling_Electrolysis
Don't worry e10s is getting better every day. It's just a matter of time and hard work.

Opening attachments gives the error : "The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset

Opening attachments gives the error : "The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset. I tried clearing cookies and cache, but it doesnot work. 8 out of 10 times this is happenning. It's reproducible, and happening only after the latest update.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

You can also try to reset (power off/on) the router.

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

Firefox cannot load certain websites and I've tried all suggested options to fix the problem.

I cannot load certain websites (my bank, some public/civic offices, etc.) on Firefox or Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox) and have tried all the suggested options in Firefox Help to remedy this problem: clearing cache and cookies, making sure no proxy is selected, allowing cookies). How do I fix this? I use a broadband internet connection that is shared.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.

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!

Firefox will not open some websites. It pops up a window - Connection has timed out. I have tried clearing history & cookies but that does not solve it

Here is a list of a few of the websites I cannot open.
www.adamrafferty.com/
www.martintaylor.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Emmanuel
http://georgebenson.com/
http://www.amazon.com/
I installed Internet Explorer and still had the problem.
I do not have the problem with my Mac computer.
IT my opinion that the problem started when I installed the latest
version of firefox.

Have you tried clearing the cache? See suggestions in this article --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-dont-load-troubleshoot-and-fix-errors
The latest version of Firefox is 13.0.1; it appears that you are using Firefox 12.

Clear the Network Cache --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cache-delete-temporary-files-fix-issues
To clear similar items in IE, use the "Internet Options"

Firefox cannot load any websites

Regardless of the website I try to open, I get the same message: a large chunk of Chinese, Timeout, and "The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct." Link to a picture below. I've reinstalled Firefox twice, started in safe mode, disabling all plugins, but nothing seems to work. Internet Explorer works perfectly fine.
