(I really doubt that mentioning plugins is helpful here. I can't actually think of any situation when I've encountered this error and it's been fixed with a plugin. - Chris C) | (I really doubt that mentioning plugins is helpful here.

(A way to get around is to use the ssh port forwarding. For instance, I need to acess a site such as http://111.123.123.111:22 but firefox will block the connection. What I did is to open a ssh port forwarding, such as ssh -N localhost -L 8080:111.123.123.111:22, then type your password to establish the connection. While the connection is still opening, go to your browser and do https://localhost:8080. This time, firefox will get you to there cause you just blinded firefox by using 8080 instead of 22, but indeed, you go to port 22. - i3dmaster) | (A way to get around is to use the ssh port forwarding.

(This is a common error during ASP.NET development where the built-in web server dynamically changes the port number. <b>The correct workaround is adding a new string value to <code>about:config</code> called <code>network.security.ports.banned.override</code> Then enter a comma-separated list of port numbers to allow.</b> - msturek) | |||
I ([[User:DavidGreaves]]) raised this as a bug : {{bug|341636}} | |||
(Linux: trying to access [set printer options] via CUPS interface, ( localhost:631 ) gave me this problem. this seemes to have 2 solutions. 1: use 127.0.0.1:631 or 2: if using localhost:631 , ensure that the line " 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost " is included in the /etc/hosts file . i had "myhost" only, not localhost, in there. - kern) | |||
My problem is simple - I connect to the Washington Post every day - starting a couple of weeks ago the site only downloaded it's banner head and sometimes a bit of the front page - what is (are) the potential fixes??? | |||

This problem arose for me directly after downloading Spyware Doctor, scanning and removing some adware,spyware infections it said I had. After that Mozilla Firefox refused to load and gave me the "Proxy server refused connection" error message. I solved the problem by simply clicking on "Tools" on top of the error message page, went to "Options", and where it said "Connection" configure how Firefox connects to the Internet>> I simply clicked on "Settings" and ticked the option which said >> "auto detect proxy settings for this network" then clicked "OK" or ""Apply".... after which I tried opening Firefox again with no problem from that point on :-) It worked for me... I hope it works for others as well. | |||
