"Connection was reset"; only fix right now is rebooting computer
Several times each day I get a "connection was reset" when visiting a particular site. I've gone through the forum and tried such suggested fixes as resetting Firefox, clearing cache, history, cookies, disabling antivirus temporarily, etc. All of these do not fix the problem; go back into Firefox and the "connection was reset" message comes up right away once site is visited. Only way to "reset" the error is to reboot the machine at which point the site will work for a bit but sooner or later "connection was reset" problem comes back again at which point computer gets rebooted once again. Thought maybe it was specific to the site in question but can open up Opera 25 and have no problems whatsoever with the same site. Any ideas? Only "clue" I have to this thing is that something about the system reboot allows the browser and site to work for a short time before error occurs again.
