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. | |||
