It won't let me do anything! All it says The proxy server is refusing connections

Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. 

   *   Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.

   *   Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
         working.

I clicked the button to reload or whatever and nothing happens just the same old thing over and over!

Check the connection settings.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection > Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.

See "Firefox connection settings":

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
