Getting "The connection was reset" on several sites

I just updated from FF21 to FF22. Immediately after doing so, I was unable to get into my Comcast email, the Google search page, Facebook, and even the Mozilla community. On some of them (such as Google and Facebook) I immediately got:
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.
On other sites (such as Comcast and Mozilla), I can access their home pages with no problem, but when I go to sign in I get that message. Obviously, I haven't tried every page in my bookmarks, but I've tried enough to know that I've got an inconsistent problem.
I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer or Chrome (in fact, I'm using Chrome right now to access the Mozilla community, which adds yet another dimension to the definition of "irony".)
I've tried, to the best of my limited technological ability, to apply the suggestions given in other threads, with no success. (And I'd really rather not have to reload scores of bookmarked pages individually if I can avoid it!)
I have never had any problems with earlier FF versions (and I think I've been using them since about version 4). Is this a glitch with the new release? Should I go back to 21?

I'm having this exact same problem and the pages linked are not helping. I've tried disabling ipv6 and the prefetch, clearing the cache and cookies, reinstalling, and checking for malware. What gives? I was using Firefox fine until I upgraded.

I get "The connection was reset" at times. I want this fixed for a future version of Firefox.

I am getting "The connection was reset" on certain sites, like totaljerkface.com at times. I really hope Mozilla employees get rid of this message and every website loads properly. I have never gotten this error on major websites like YouTube and Google. Can someone on this forum report this to Mozilla staff? Thanks.

Can someone help me with this report? I hate getting this error.

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 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!

I keep getting "the connection was reset" etc when logged onto my bank.

When logged on to my bank (business account) and setting up weekly payments I can set up a couple of them but then I get the "the connection was reset" etc error message. If I try to log in again I just keep getting the same message.
Then I have to open up Chrome, log in to the bank, and finish the job with no trouble at all. Generally I prefer to use Firefox; but maybe not for much longer!

Thanks cor-el, I'll give your suggestions a try next week when I have to log into the bank.
Will let you know how I get on; I just hope I won't have to keep on doing it every time!

WHEN I TRY TO GOOGLE SOMETHING, I GET "THE CONNECTION WAS RESET ". WHY?

I CAN GET ON INTERNET FINE, BUT WHEN I TRY TO GOOGLE SOMETHING(OR YAHOO SEARCH) I GET PAGE WITH "THE CONNECTION WAS RESET WHILE LOADING PAGE". THIS HAPPENS ON FIREFOX AND SAFARI. ONLY,NOT ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES GOOGLE PAGE POPS RIGHT UP. SATELLITE PROVIDER HAS NO CLUE.I AM AT A LOSS.

I do not have any idea what your issue with your Mac could be. What happens if you query MS Bing?

Need java script 6.26 to use banking software keep getting "the connection was reset" error Java appears on addon blocked list

I am trying to use Team One Credit Unions CU@home to access my accounts. Their support team tells me I need Java script 6.26. I show that on my add on list but it also states Java is blocked on the blocked software list. How do I get Java script running so I can do my home banking or at least test it to be sure that is the issue. I have tried running this program with Java enabled and disabled with the same results.

When I did the reset firefox it worked but i still do not know why firefox would cause all the browsers to stop working?

I cannot load one trusted website, none of the suggested solutions work, fixed Norton 360 as recommended, cleared all history, but still I get "The connection was reset", I get the website using Internet Explorer - help please!

I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit) with Mozilla 5.0 and Norton 360 4.3.0.5. I used to be able to load the website URL below, but it stopped loading about a month ago. I've tried all the suggested solutions without success. All other browsing is fine, The owners of the website say that they have NOT blocked my access.

I see the same with Google Chrome.

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.

Firefox is now hard to load, and no matter what I click on for a web page, or even my mail I get the connection was reset and I have to hit the try again button 5 - 6 times usually to get the page to load.

I updated internet explorer also changing my server provider so that my web page contact emails would go thru. I have quest broadband and could not use my yahoo accounts as they are not compatible, had me open a q.com email will transfer to outlook for my web pages. That all works, but now firefox is acting up.

Many business users chose to use the downgrade option to XP until Windows 7 had been out awhile longer ,which may be what happened on your machine. Where I work, most all of the machines still run XP.
Recovery Disks contain the OS and all drivers/software for a specific model. A plain Windows disk contains just the OS.Not sure which you have, but a true Recovery Disk set will not work on any machine.
It really sounds like you have a Windows Repair disk which requires a backup image to repair an installation.Could you confirm what exact disk you have?

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 install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

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:
