 This address (%address) specifies a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.
 *You might need to install a plugin or other software to view this address. Go back to the previous page and check the site for any special requirements.
+* Go to about:config in your Firefox browser.
+* Right click somewhere, and choose "New => String"
+* In the setting Name box type "network.security.ports.banned.override"
+* In the Setting Value box, type "1-65535". Or whatever you need..
+* Click OK
 (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)

 (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)

+(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)

+(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???

 Firefox got tired of waiting to hear back from the server at %address.

+This seems to happen with everytime i try to load facebook.com.

 Firefox is configured to use a proxy server, but that proxy server is refusing connections.
 *Check the proxy settings in "Preferences" to make sure they are correct.
+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.
