I receive a "Problem Loading Page" message, "The Connection Was Reset." I've tried all your tip.

I receive the "connection was reset" message on 90% of my attempts to visit websites. All sites are bookmarked and safe. I printed out all help information and tried the forum. I am using Windows 8.1. Some of the help instructions seem to be for XP or another OS. The directions do not have certain locations in the help instructions on Win. 8.
I really have enjoyed Firefox over Internet Explorer but it is really frustrating to have this happening all the time.
Thanks for any help!

You can check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

When I try to go to Youtube I get the error message :the connection was reset". Any ideas?

Site won't open

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|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
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

In FireFox 9, loading secure web pages running on non-standard ports works just fine. In FireFox 10, those same pages do not load and a "The connection was reset" message is displayed.

How can this be fixed so functionality returns as per FF9 and below?
This occurs on any secured website running on a non-standard port, with FF10.

< X-Post from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/917315#answer-315144 >
I don't think this is restricted to Firefox. I've noted this behaviour with IE9, Firefox 10.0.2, Opera Mobile (on my phone) and Chrome(latest version) with my Linksys E3000 router (I access it from https://<IP>) and my 3ware RAID card management suite, 3DM2 (I access it from https://localhost:888 ).
Notably, the only thing amiss that I've been able to see in the certificates (I'm no expert) is that the one from Linksys has issue and expiry dates in 1969 and 1970 respectively. However, I don't think this is the cause since 3DM2 has proper looking issue dates and has the identical problem.
Coincidentally, I noticed this happening after a fresh reinstall of Windows 7 x64 with virtually nothing installed on it (FF, Office 2007), so I don't think it's something wrong with the other software on the machine.

When I try to open Firefox I receive a message "The connection was reset". Firefox will not open. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it but same problem exists. I cannot open firefox. How do I correct this problem?

Using HP windows 7 64 bit PC. All other browsers working properly.

thank you

As of approximately 1 1/2 weeks ago I can no longer login to iGoogle or GMail-get a message "The connection was reset". I can access the actual iGoogle page pre-login and all other websites and can login with IE8. Tried the suggestions listed in Help.

Firefox 5/running Windows 7 Professional SP1/ on a Dell/Core 2 Duo 64 bit
It worked when I initially got the machine, it works in IE8 and on my other computer in the same office/same network running XP Professional SP3 and Firefox 3.6.18

Apparently, there was something corrupt in my Profile. I backed up my default profile, created a new one and copied over the critical folders and files - the addons; backedup bookmarks, places.sqlite; password info in key3.db and signons.sqlite.
Issue resolved.

I cannot log in to my Kohls account "The connection was reset"

When I go to the Kohls website and click on the 'my account' tab and when I click on 'sign in' it goes to another tab and then gives me the message "The connection was reset" and
"''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 log in the same account from the desktop but not the Laptop.

If you can visit the website in other browsers but not in Firefox:
*At the top of the Firefox window, click on the '''Tools''' menu, and select '''Clear Recent History....'''
** If menu bar is hidden, "'''Firefox button'''" -> "'''Clear recent history...'''"
*In the Time Range to clear: drop-down, select '''Everything'''.
*Click the arrow next to Details to display the list of items that can be cleared.
*Select both '''Cookies''' and '''Cache'''.
*Click '''Clear Now'''.

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.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I do not have any idea what your issue with your Mac could be. What happens if you query MS Bing?

Error message : Problem loading page, the connection was reset...

Problem loading page... the connection was reset.
Zwei IT-Experten haben sich das Problem angeschaut und haben aufgegeben.
FF haben wir mehrere Male deinstalliert und reinstalliert, Caches gesäubert, Cookies gelöscht. Mit Proxy, ohne Proxy, mit Kaspersky, ohne Kaspersky.
Diagnose: Irgendwo schlummert noch etwas vom alten FF, dass das Laden verhindert.
Chrome installiert, funktioniert einwandfrei. Speicherplatz, Win 7, alles OK. Verschiedene Internetverbindungen ausprobiert. Glasfaser, WLAN, nützt nichts.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

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.
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.
