I can't get online through firefox (this keeps coming up THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS) but can through internet explorer?

As I said in the question when I click on the firefox link on the desktop this is what comes up (THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections) but I can get connected through Internet Explorer. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox with no difference.

I tried all that stuff and none of it helped. I can't load any of the google applications in firefox now. They pop up with this screen.
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to mail.google.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
mail.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it was issued by an invalid CA certificate. (Error code: sec_error_inadequate_key_usage)
Now I tried a couple of other sites and they all seemed to work okay, and if necessary I could click understand the risks and still access the site, but no go with google. Considering I use my google account for my calendar and gmail a lot, I am highly disappointed with this new update. I hate using IE and really prefer to use Firefox.

    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.

    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
    Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.

    what can I do?

    hello dave, please check in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'' that firefox is set up to directly connect to the internet ('no proxy').

  • Updated to firefox 3.6.6 on laptop and now it can't acces the net "The proxy server is refusing connections" I've restarted twice. My other computer in home works fine. Just not laptop on Network/WiFi

    Can't access the web on lap. It's networked form main computer. The problem started just after I downloaded/updated to Firefox 3.6.6. That may be a coincidence. I get "The proxy server is refusing connections". Restarts don't help. My main computer is fine. I didn't update it.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == just after an update to 3.6.6

    Firefox 3.6.6 made a change in prefs to use system proxy settings.
    Check your proxy / network setting in Windows and change it to No Proxy, if you don't use a proxy.

  • Whenever I try to go to a website I get the following message: The proxy server is refusing connections. How do I fix this?

    My web proider is Verizon Fios. I've contacted Verizon 4 times about this. I was instructed to delete Firefox and then download again. It didn't help. I'm able to get to your main window. Then, when I try to go to any website, the following window comes up: "The proxy server is refusing connections. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. It tells me to "Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct." I tried that w/ my Verizon support person but how is one to know what "settings" are "correct"? Finally the window instructs: "Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working." Who would my "network administrator" be? It wasn't Verizon as they told me they don't support Mozilla.

  • Firefox says my proxy server is refusing connections, but other browsers are working.

    I was using Firefox one day when the following message was shown: "The proxy server is refusing connections
    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
    * Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
    * Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is

    I checked with my network administrator and he said that everthing was fine. I started using Internet Explorer and everything is working. I don't think this is a problem with my server.

    The default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't always work properly on Windows XP and in such a case it is better to select "No proxy".

  • On start up, get error message "The proxy server is refusing connections". Have dial up and no network. Changed my dial up from Localnet, which I uninstalled on my computer, to free dial up. Explorer works, but Firefox just gives me this error message.

    Nothing else to add.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • When I try to open Firefox, it says that "the proxy server is refusing connections." What settings do I need to change? Even though the internet signal is strong, I can't open any webpages.

    It also says that Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. This is probably caused by Firewall settings on this computers. Check the firewall settings for HTTP port (80), HTPPS prot (443) & FTP port (21).
    This all started when I tried to tried to delete the Verizon Broadband toolbar and home page that always opened when I opened Firefox.

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