 (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)

 (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)
-Hi, I'm a big boy now and I don't need M$ IE style hand-holding. Firefox is used by grownups to operate all kinds of web enabled systems (development, sysadmin, testing...) that don't use port 80. I first encountered this using SWAT but there are many other valid uses. Please implement and include instructions on overriding this in the help message. Eg:

+(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???

-Thursday, January 19, 2006 10:57 am. This occurs occasionally with my freeproxy firewall; didn't occur before 1.5. "Try again" always fixes it so far.
+This seems to happen with everytime i try to load facebook.com.

-Through my dialup, I consistently get the message:
-"The connection has timed out - The server at ~server~ is taking too long to respond."
-There doesn't appear to be any information on the web about this, however I have found it is related to several windows requesting data at the same time (say, more than two). "Try Again" always fixes the problem... eventually. Other browsers don't appear to have this problem for me.

 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.
