Question sudddenly here is what i get when i try to open firefox, which i have been using for a year with no trouble:
PROXY SERVER REFUSED CONNECTION
firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
the browser is configured to use a proxy server, but the proxy refused a connection.
- is the browser's proxy configuration correct? check the settings and try again.
- does the proxy service allow connections from this network?
- still having trouble? consult your network administrator or internet provider.
Answer In Firefox go to "tools", "options", click on "advanced", at the top will be "connections". Go there are make sure "no proxy" is checked and see if you can get online. If this does not work you will have to find out what connection information to enter in order to connect to your ISP.
Let me know what happens and if I can help you further.
