Recently my firefox quit working and bring up a error message - proxy server is refusing connections - i havn't change any settings - is due to a mirciosoft upgrade?

it will still go to 1 or 2 sites but i can't get it to go to googgle or any major sites and my other computer uses the same internet connection and it has no problems at all - tried uninstalling and downloading a newer version - didn't work

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

  • I get this error 'The proxy server is refusing connections' i use autoproxy and use linux

    hi I use autoproxy for cross over proxy in my country and i get this error all the time :
    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
    working.
    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').

    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.

  • Firefox will not open. it says to proxy server is refusing connections. please advise

    firefox will not open. the window says that the proxy server is refusing connections.

    go to '''TOOLS''' then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK''' tab then '''SETTINGS''' tab and '''select the options NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK''' again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
    if you like to '''not''' disable the proxy settings choose :
    '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network'''
    thank you

  • 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.

  • Itunes stops working and I get an error message "APPCRASH" when I try to play a downloaded TV show. I have udated Itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK.
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

  • 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
    working."
    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.

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
