I use firefox to get my gmail but now i keep getting "the connection was interrupted" message which i never got before

i have been using firefox to access my gmail. however, only since today i get the following message:
The connection was interrupted
The connection to mail.google.com was interrupted 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.
however, i am able to connect on my ipad for gmail.
helppppppp!!!!

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You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.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 <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
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Also make sure to allow Firefox in your security software (firewall).
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

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.

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.

I oocasionally get an error msg "The connection was interrupted" with some reasons. Usually a reload works but sometimes I need to change the https to http to get the load.

The error msg states the site may be tempo unavailable or that I have a network problem; even trying to open a new tab will give me the same error. When I attempt to load my own website I get the "unsafe site" msg but switching to http from https allows my site to load. I can open a tab in Firefox ten times without a problem and then I'll get "The connection was interrupted" msg. I did a complete delete and reload of Firefox but the issue remains.

see if this is helpful:

Trying to access https site with a cert, got "The connection was interrupted" error after 30 seconds of waiting time before clicking on OK. But I can get in by clicking on Try Again button.

I have a web site running on https. Every users need certificates to get in.
I found out that if I didn't submit my cert within 30 seconds, Firefox displayed "The connection was interrupted". This problem is repeatable. But if I click on "Try Again" button on the error page, I can get in all the time.
This problem doesn't happen on IE.
Can you provide any tips to avoid seeing the error page?

It is a miracle - After about 9 months without itunes, the new release installed on my machine today and appears to be working.
7.0.0.70 is the verion I just installed.
Another note to add to this now resolved issue. I bought an AirPort Express and I was not able to install the Admin software on the CD. I received the same error as I received with iTunes and Quicktime. This leads me to believe that this problem is in the registry or some other installer issue that is specific to Apple installations. I will have to go home and try to re-install that software. Maybe the new iTunes version cleared up the problem.

How can I get Firefox to stop causing "The connection was interrupted"?

I've recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.22 on my MacOSX 10.5.8 system. I connect to the internet via GoogleWifi. That connection now consistently fails immediately after Firefox launches when there is no Cache (I clear it every time I Quit from Firefox). Safari can make the connection, but Firefox consistently reports: "Problem loading page." "The connection was interrupted." Attempting to "Try Again" does no good, it still fails.

This is not helpful because 7.0.1 does not meet my System Requirements. There is no Mac OS X 10.4 version, and I always install the same version on all my systems. I've also read several reports of "problems" with 7.0.1, and wouldn't trust it on my 10.5 (Leopard) system.

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.

I cannot reach checkout on Amazon. I get a Connection Was Reset message

I cannot reach checkout on Amazon. Nor can I move freely to my Account. I have tried signing in with other names and other email addresses but equally unsuccessfully. I have disabled anti virus (Avast) and Windows Firewall, cleaned cookies etc. I have spent some time with both Amazon and my server (PlusNet) trying to resolve this. It also occurs with Internet Explorer and Safari.
The problem lies within my own computer but doesn't seem to effect any other site than Amazon. The Connection Reset message does occur frequently, whether this is normal or not I do not know, but when retried usually goes away when surfing elsewhere
I can access Amazon using a neighbour's computer.

Thank you brinda. I hav eread the article you mention and have again cleared both cache and cookies but to no avail. I am still getting a "The connection was reset" message. Amazon tell me that he fault is with me rather than at their end as otherwise I would not be able to log in on a neighbour's computer.

I am having trouble transferring files from an old MacBook (2007) to a MacBook Air over a wireless network. The connection was interrupted and the time was over 24 hours. Is there a better way to do this? I'm using Migration assistant.

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 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 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,
