Unable to launch Firefox and getting message 'The Proxy server is refusing connections'. All was working fine until noticed a message that a Firefox update was being installed - unable to connect since then. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Unable to launch Firefox browser and getting message 'The proxy server is refusing connections' - this seems to be connected with a recent software update as all working fine until then.

Every time Firefox opened
After an update installed on 5th July.

In Firefox 3.6.4 the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings". See #Firefox_connection_settings|Firefox connection settings
You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
