I was using Firefox earlier in the day with no problem. About half an hour ago I tried to get on the Internet using Firefox (as always). When I did, I was greeted with a little dialog box showing that something was downloading. That's happened before.
This time, though, I was greeted by an error page that said Firefox was configured to use a proxy server that's refusing connections.
I'm not on a network. I have a desktop computer that connedts to a wireless modem that I share only with my wife. I didn't change my settings on either. Neither did my wife.
My "Connection Settings" box still says "use system proxy settings." There are no entries in the manual settings boxes.
I want to emphasize that I changed *nothing.*
I need to know, please, how I can set my computer to get back onto the Internet or, failing that, how I can go back to the previous version of Firefox.
Thank you very much.

The above says it all, I think. I try to open Firefox and I get that screen I mentioned above. I have uninstalled and program twice and re-installed it three times with the same result.
Check the connection settings.

My screen says The proxy server is refusing connections. How do I change or fix this?
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' (OR Tools Menu -> Options)
* go to '''Advanced''' panel -> '''Network''' tab -> click '''Settings''' button -> select Radio Button Options 1 or 2 or 3 -> click OK
* (check which option works, then keep it permanent)
-> click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working. -
Recently McAfee recommended I block 'roaming.dwm.exe' which I did. Could that have caused the problem? Since then I have swapped to AVG which found 3 Trojans and removed them, but I still cannot access Firefox. I have checked my Internet Connections settings and nothing is entered there.
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection
Try selecting the "No Proxy" setting. If it doesn't work, select "Use System Settings". If this still doesn't solve the problem, leave the setting at "Use System Settings", then check your connection's settings (in Windows, not FF). -

#Go to Advanced.

#Choose No proxy, or Use system settings.

Any version of Firefox above 3.5.4 I try to install will not let me get to the internet. Each Firefox gets upgraded it keeps giving me the error message that "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." Then I need to re-install 3.5.4 to get to the internet. This is driving me nuts! How do I fix this?
You're welcome

After installing TOR Browser Bundle 2.2.37-2, I get "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that can't be found." even though neither is configured to use a proxy
Hi,
If the TOR Browser Bundle is installed you would have two versions of Firefox: the original Mozilla Firefox and the customized TOR Firefox. You can try to start the Firefox that was installed by TOR. If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of TOR and TOR Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration areas/modules of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization etc. in addition to the main AV/Firewall module. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for TOR and TOR Firefox + its related processes. Even otherwise some security software may also ask again when TOR/TOR Firefox is started and you can try to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

You can also try [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ updating the original Mozilla Firefox], set '''No Proxy''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Options '''> '''Advanced '''> '''Network '''> [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Settings] and check. -
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections
I try to go online with Firefox 4.0 and I keep getting the error Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. I go to tools then settings then options and click on one of 3 buttons No proxy, auto detect proxy settings for this network, use system proxy settings, and manual proxy configuration if I get rid of the numbers in the boxes. After I check one of them I retry it then it works until I close firefox. When I open firefox again it repeats the same thing all over again.
I am tired of resetting it over and over again and have been using Internet Explorer because it works fine. I don't know how to make it work. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
