I keep getting an error trying to load firefox-
Quote:
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.
Uhh..
what does that mean?
Assuming your network connection is fine and it's a Firefox configuration, try this in Firefox:
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Connection > Settings
Then choose "Direct connection to internet".
And to explain, a proxy is basically another computer(s) that you connect to that then connects to the site(s) you are attempting to reach and relay their response to you.
Yay!
Thank you! That fixed the problem.
