Why do I keep getting proxy server refusing connections - even after I already reset to NONE?
After downloading your new version of Firefox 4, I constantly get the same "proxy server refusing connections" screen. I have gone into options and changed the proxy server to "none" at least 25 times in three days. This is a ridiculous waste of my time! How can this be fixed? or if not, how can I go back to a previous version of Firefox that doesn't have this stupid issue?
Doesn't that 'No proxy' selection stay selected ?

Fiefox will not run, I get proxy server refuses connection.
When I tried to open Firefox this is the what I got. I have removed and reinstalled it with the same result.
In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".

I am not finding a solution online that I can understand. Please tell me how what the proxy settings are for Mozilla Firefox's server connection? Firefox is my default web browser and I keep getting messages that say, "Proxy server refusing connection to the internet. Check proxy settings or contact server administrator." I go to the Advanced tab, click on change connection to internet settings, and delete manual proxy information and click on "no proxy." When the window closes and I log back onto the laptop, Mozilla Firefox loads up and I get the same error message again. I don't know how to change the proxy server to no proxy so that it will stay that way and not reset itself to the manual proxy information every time the Mozilla Firefox window reopens. Help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

Proxy server refused connections
Everytime I try to open Firefox and go online, I get the msg "proxy server refused connection". I tried going to options and choosing auto detect proxy and no proxy. They both allow me to go online but when I close Firefox, the settings I did aren't saved and I need to go to options again and change the settings. It's a hassle to go through this all the time. Help pls.
You can try to create a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=profile&r=0&e=sph&as=s new profile] and see if the problem goes away. i.e. in Windows Start menu > '''Run''' (or press Windows key + '''R'''), type and enter '''firefox -p -no-remote''' > '''Create Profile''', after finishing select the newly created profile, '''Start Firefox''', edit and save the proxy settings and restart in the newly created profile. If the profile is okay, you can later [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy] needed data like bookmarks, passwords etc. from the previous profile to the new profile and delete the previous profile.
If the problem persists, it could be a security software that is trying to transparently proxy Firefox and may also be reverting the Firefox proxy changes. You may have to go into the security software settings and exempt Firefox/[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder or Files]. -
Why do i keep getting the message 'Cannot connect to iTunes Store' when I have done every connection I can find? What does the error message (-1202) mean when I am on the iTunes site on my computer?
Hi Velvalee,

I tried to download Firefox 3.6 but it wouldn't finish loading because of the message " Proxy server refusing connections". How do I over ride this problem? The last couple of days my firefox 3.5.2 has been crashing or locking up almost every time I opened it. It got so frustrating that I tried downloading 3.6 to see if it would work any better. No luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I run Windows 2000 XP.
Go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Network --> Settings and choose "Do not use Proxy" to see if that helps.

Trying to connect via tablet's tethering hotspot, firefox says proxy server refused connection
Hi there, today I tried to connect my laptop to my tablet using the lattering as tethering hotspot. Laptop connected itself to tablet, signal was excellent, password OK, no apparent problems.
When I try to load the home page I got this answer: connection refused by proxy server.
What shall I do, check or change to make things work?
When a use my internet key or any other wi-fi I don't get the same problem, it only happened today with the tethering hotspot of the Tablet.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to give me!
Happy new year,
IraHey Ira,
Does your computer use a proxy server to connect to the internet?
1.You can hold your window key and press r at the same time to open a dialog box. 2.in the dialog box type ncpa.cpl and press enter. 3.Your networks will open 4.right click the network named wifi or the network you connect through and select properties. 5.this will again open a dialog. in this dialog scroll and go to internet protocol version4 6.double click on it. do you see obtain an ip address automatically checked or use the following ip checked.
if obtain ip automatically then your connection doesn't use proxy.
now go to firefox>option>advanced>network>setting and see if your connecion is automatic,no proxy etc. If your computer use proxy you can use system proxy or manually configure proxy.
You have two scenarios.
1. When you use internet key or any other wi-fi. Keep the setting as it is. remember in this case "use system proxy settings"
2. Now when you use tethering from your table, you will have to make only a tiny change. Go to firefox setting, dont make any change to windows setting and click on no proxy or automatically detect proxy (1 of the first two). One of them should work for you Either no proxy or automatically detect proxy
hope it helps. :-) -

Keep getting "Proxy server is refusing connections, check proxy settings
I downloaded Firefox and I keep getting ..."Proxy server is refusing connections. Check proxy settings." What are proxy settings and where do I find them?
The default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't always work properly on Windows XP and in such a case it is better to select "No proxy".

Why do I keeping getting proxy authentication request when trying to read Gmail?
I am behind a Blue Coat proxy, whenever I try to hit gmail or google play, I get a pop-up that request user authentication (moz-proxy). I have seen a number of post on this and tried the fixes. Nothing seems to help. When I tried this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943488, Step three: network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies – FALSE, I was block from hitting any webpage. I have tried opening is SAFE MODE, that did not work. Are there any other solutions?
"IE’ uses windows authentication, and authenticates with proxy server silently behind the scenes. Chrome uses IE’s settings in windows, for proxy settings. Hence the same behavior as IE. But Firefox, tries to do it on its own, that is why it tries to authenticate and find out if you have access to the site.
But, yeah, for your problem, the best way would be to ignore proxy for the site if you know they are already blocked."

I currently have version 3.0.10 and have gotten two prompts to upgrade my version of firefox and each time I do install the new version and then try to start up Firefox, I get a page instead that says proxy server is refusing connections and the only way to browse is to re-install the old version. I also have to re-install the old version at least 3 times before I can use Personas.

I have been very satisfied with Mozilla Firefox until recently. I have Firefox 3.6.3. Every time a box appears with "installing updates" it installs updates then the screen goes to "problem loading page" and "the proxy server is refusing connections". The only way I can get internet access is to go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs" then I have to "uninstall mozilla firefox 3.6.13. Then I click on my "Firefox Setup 3.6.3, and I install that version. Once I do that, everything works fine again. It is such a headache because I can't prevent the "installing updates" from happening and once it happens, it does not work, as described above.
Any thoughts???????
Russ Carlson ''moderator removed email address and cellphone number''I have this problem also.
Can't bring up the Hotmail screen.
I am looking for a simple way to
get rid of 3.6.13.
I tried restoring to a point
before the Dec 10 upgrade but when system
restored Firefox was still 3.6.13
I guess I will have to abandon MOZILLA FIREFOX
and start using MICROSOFT IE
