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?
Writing in all capital letters is considered shouting at folks by internet protocol. Most folks here avoid people who shout!

  • Gargoyle https router logon not working after version 27, when I try and logon it just says the connection was reset. works fine with 27.0.1 must be a bug

    I use a Gargoyle quota management router which has web access through https. It works fine with Firefox version 27.0.1 , and has worked for years with no problems. Somewhere after version 27.0.1 a bug was introduced which prooduces the error message "Problem loading page, The connection was reset, The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" each time I go to the routers address. Reverting to 27.0.1 fixes the problem and it also works fine with Interney Explorer so it is not a firewall problem.

    HI techman88,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that the password for your router is no longer working in Firefox 27. Please download the new version of Firefox from your working browser and reset the profile.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    To reset Firefox go to about:support and and click Reset Firefox. However if there is a saved password in this profile you can manage the passwords under Options > Security> Passwords. Please check this out as well.

  • 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 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.

  • 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,
    Extremely helpful observations here. Am sure quite some folks will hit this thread!

  • 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!

  • 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 cannot open websites that I normally open everyday. I have Firefox 5.0 When I try to open something, it says The connection has timed out

    Can someone please help? It was working fine. Now I can open some things, but not my regular sites that I have on my desktop. It just tries to connect, then says, The connection has timed out

  • Firefox is now hard to load, and no matter what I click on for a web page, or even my mail I get the connection was reset and I have to hit the try again button 5 - 6 times usually to get the page to load.

    I updated internet explorer also changing my server provider so that my web page contact emails would go thru. I have quest broadband and could not use my yahoo accounts as they are not compatible, had me open a q.com email will transfer to outlook for my web pages. That all works, but now firefox is acting up.

    Many business users chose to use the downgrade option to XP until Windows 7 had been out awhile longer ,which may be what happened on your machine. Where I work, most all of the machines still run XP.
    Recovery Disks contain the OS and all drivers/software for a specific model. A plain Windows disk contains just the OS.Not sure which you have, but a true Recovery Disk set will not work on any machine.
    It really sounds like you have a Windows Repair disk which requires a backup image to repair an installation.Could you confirm what exact disk you have?

  • I get "The connection was reset" when trying to open Hotmail from my bookmarks. Why?

    None of the solutions provided along with this message seem to apply.

    The server may just be busy.
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Also check the firewall to be sure that it isn't blocking or restricting Firefox in any way.

  • When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

    When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

    My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
    Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

  • I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

    I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

    You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off!  Thank you dwb!
