    Please update Firefox to the latest version via "Help > Check for Updates or Help > About Firefox"<br />
    The Firefox 3.5.5 version that you use is no longer maintained with security and stability updates.<br />
    Using unsupported Firefox versions is at your own risk and makes you vulnerable to attacks.<br />
    Users of no longer supported Firefox versions are strongly recommended to update to the latest release that is supported by their system.

  • What do I do when it says "The proxy server is refusing connections, etc"?

    Att.net is my home page. I have long used Firefox. When I click on the att.net icon on my opening page, this message pops up:
    The proxy server is refusing connectons.
    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
    * Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct..
    * Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
    I have no idea what this means since I am not PC proficient. I have had to returen to Internet Explorer which is not as satisfactory as Firefox was.
    If a reply is sent, my only request is that it be kept simple.

    To: cor-el
    A thousand thanks for your help. The"No Proxy" check didn't work, so I fooled around with the other selections until "Use System Proxy Settings" did the job. I'm grateful.

  • I have Mozilla Firefox installed, but whenever I try to bring it up I get a message that says "The proxy server is refusing connections" What do I do?

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    This is what follows the first statement;
    "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections".
    *Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct. (Done)
    *Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
    I have called COMCAST, my internet service provider and they said there is nothing they can do for me.
    I would appreciate an answer to this problem

    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".

  • When attempting to get online I get a message saying "The proxy server is refusing connections Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections" what do I need to do?

    I have a computer running Vista home premiun, it belongs to a co worker with teens, he asked me to check it out because it was not working correctly, I found several issues including a lack of microsoft updates (140 +) and a response to a question about defragging as "what???". I have now uploaded all current microsoft updates, and gone thru and remove all extras. I also loaded Secunia PSI, and scanned a number of times to ensure that everything loaded is up to date. I pretty much run all the same software on my own computers (3) and have neer encountered any issue.

    Please try to set Firefox to use '''no proxy''' - [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_connection]] explains how.

    I am attempting to connect my laptop to my home network. The internet connection works (I loaded up cmd and pinged yahoo with good results). But it is telling me that "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections."

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

  • Unable to open any website due to The proxy server is refusing connections, why?

    Firefox is opened, but unable to open any website. The message says, "The proxy server is refusing connections" & "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections". I installed the version 8.0.1 again. But there was the same message, again!

  • The proxy server is refusing connections on a user name on my desktop. How do I repair that?

    Hello,
    My computer has 2 users on here. Under my username when I try to go on the internet I get a pop up that say "The proxy server is refusing connections. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connection." I have tried going into my control panel under internet options and changing my LAN setting to automatic and that did not work. I also tried to place where is searches for the proxy and I am unable to connect on y user. I can switch users and go under my daughters and then I am able to connecto to the internet.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • 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'''

  • Won't connect: "The proxy server is refusing connections." Why? How do I fix it?

    I am not a computer person--the machine is a super typewrrriter and research aid; like an auto, it should just run when you buy it. But. I got a virus; tried my amatuer best to correct or fix things. The computer runs now, but will only access Internet Explorer, and Firefox is my browser of choice. Now when I click on Firefox the opening screen starts, then carries the message: "The Proxy Server is refusing connections."

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

  • 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.
