Firefox suffering from "connection has been reset" and other problems

Running 14.0.1 under Linux. It has started to suffer from the "connection has been reset" problem...sometimes 2 or 3 times in sucession. In addition on many sites clicking the "back" arrow does noting...until I click it several times. Seems like FF is ignoring it.
Happens in safe mode and is driving me crazy because I can't reproduce it.

Does anything unusual show in the Net log of the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console; Ctrl+Shift+K) ?
You can ignore the usual CSS errors (i.e hide them) to make it easier to check the Net log

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 ota, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset! My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it .

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

kapots3v4,
if your MacBook Pro doesn’t stay active long enough to perform an OS X Internet Recovery, then you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service provider to have them diagnose what’s ailing it.

I am constantly getting hte "connection has been reset" message. I followed instructions in the help section for this & now it's worse. I am using 6.0. Please help!

I cannot do anything online because I constantly get the "connection has been reset" message. This has never happened before. I followed instructions on Firefox help page for this message and it only made it worse!

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

ITunes network connection has been reset: Anyone know the meaning?

Within the past 2 days I have started receiving a "Network connection has been reset" error message when trying to purchase new apps or updating already purchased apps. Does anyone have better insight than I into its meaning and purpose? Thanks!

+I have dial up so i don’t know if this might be causing the problem, is there anyway to fix this?+
Sounds like the dial=up connection is dropping. My advice is to get it from a friend's house that has high speed internet. Put the iTunes Setup.exe file on a USB memory stick, take it to your PC and drag it to the desktop. Then run the install.

TS1424 network connection has been reset

having trouble downloading songs from itunes on my computer. I keep getting an error that reads "network connection has been reset".

I'm sorry i can't be of help but i can relate because I'm having the same problem.
The error message occurs when I login to buy music and says:
"We could not complet your iTunes Store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure you network connection is active and try again."
I'm having no internet problems at all... maybe this error is due to the recent patch/update? i bought music a couple days ago and was fine, and now I can't log in. HELP!

The 2nd generation can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.

Itunes can not complete request, the network connection has been reset

iTunes can not complete my download request for video slammer, the network connection has been reset, why I'm I getting this problem?

Apple's servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/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.

I have the following problem: I try to open Google, Youtube or some other pages and I can't use them. All I get is the "Connection has been reset" message. Help?

The only way I'm able to use Google and YouTube is by using HTTPS, but the thing is that by using HTTPS, I can only use SSL Google, which lacks Images and several other useful features.
As for YouTube, it's perfectly normal.
Wikis load like snails, and some don't even load at all. Not even with the HTTPS. Also, when I try to update Java, it tells me that my Internet Connection Settings are wrong. Not sure if that's the problem, though.
If it's any plugin I'm missing, I'll gladly install it (just don't trick me into viruses, please).
I've already cleaned my cookies (15 times, no kidding), checked the firewall, etc.
I haven't checked my Internet Settings because I don't want to screw things more than they already are. But I doubt that's the problem.
I checked for viruses, spyware, and the like, but my anti-virus software (ESET) detected nothing.
I've also went to the Network "Repair" in "My Computer" and restarted my PC twice.
I really need things back to normal, so any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

TS1424 What do you do when you get an error message that says "Network connection has been reset"?

I tried to purchase a song through iTunes just now, and received the above error message about the network connection being reset. I also can't download to iTunes several Apps that have been purchased on my iPad and iPhone. I am using a PC with Windows 7. Thoughts? Thank you.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.
