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.

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

  • Recently I update Firefox and now I can't acces to my router

    Recently I update Firefox and now I can't acces to my router main page any more.
    Before I get a window that ask me to add an exception, cause the certificate ... as I check the remember the exception it always ask me for the exception. was not so bad as I have ask any time for the exception and finally I have acces to it . But now NO WAY !!!
    I still go to internet, all my computers are connected but I could'nt reach the router to change some settings and add news computers ( my settings are very secure on my router to add a device I have to enter the MAC address). I still get my printer at 192.168.3.141, the modem at 192.168.1.1 but when I want to go to the router main page 192.168.3.1, I get this message :
    Secure Connection Failed
    An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.3.1. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    I read that FF change some settings on the new versions and last time I enter on my router without problems was on October 10.
    Now I have installed the 33.0.1 my OS Is XP.
    PLEASE HELP WITH THAT ISSUE
    EDIT: I suspect that my problem have to be with the certificate manager because I see it change a lot on this version, and have a place to add exception security like the old one that I use to have to check in the past.
    it look like the same problem as me:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042889
    I don't understand almost nothing about certificates then I didn't find any tutorial explaining how to deal with. Also I sow that was totally diferent have some ssl things to check and now is a OCSP ??? for me all still chinesse (lol) I only want someting very simple: reach my router !!!.
    I only see on authorities many times my router address, I try to add an exception and say the certificate couldn't be found. I don't know how to play with all this settings , but I'm shure have relation to my problem.
    Sorry, my english it's not the best.

    [SOLVED)
    @the-edmeister That work !!! thank you very much. I have to put it at SSLv3 option to this work.
    I have a question for you. How I could figure out to work with that in the future? could I add an exception on the certificates? or something like that to still let me enter on my router web page? or how I could figure out to make any change on tomato router to still work with the new standard? .

  • Running windows 7 firefox refuses to come up, proxy server is refusing connections network adminiastrater says proxy servers are correct and is issue with firefox what do I do/ do

    I start up firefox and it says the proxy server is refusing connection. It is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. To check the proxy servers and ask network administrater to make sure proxy server is correct They say the proxy server is correct and it is a firefox problem. So what to I do now?

    Make sure that the Firefox connection settings are the same as in IE.
    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
    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    You can compare them with the IE settings in the Internet Options (Control Panel).

  • 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.

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

  • "Proxy server is refusing connections" error message, fixed with Network Settings but won't save my preferences. Have tried everything!

    I always have to go
    Firefox>Option>Network>Settings>Select Auto-Detect Proxy
    Every time I open firefox.
    I read the "Preferences Not Saved" Help but I don't have a User file in my Containing Folder, so I couldn't change that.
    Deleted my prefs.js files, but when it automatically made a new one it was still stuck on "Manual Proxy Settings" which leads to the "Proxy server is refusing connections" error.
    Any new ideas? Please?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • 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'''
