Some websites say that the connection reset, but after following the instructions to fix it, it still doesn't work, and recently they simply refuse to load.
Recently, Mozilla has refused to load certain webpages for me, saying that 'the connection was reset' or sometimes not loading at all. I don't know what's wrong and if it's just me. So far, I've had problems getting onto Random.org, Serenes Forest.net (which actually didn't load a few times), and Dictionary.com. Is there something wrong with my internet, and if there is, what? And why does this happen? (I don't have wireless internet, if that helps deduce the problem.)
I know that maybe this sounds like something that doesn't have to do with Firefox, but Firefox never did this before, and my computer has always worked fine before, so I think maybe something happened to my Firefox that's corrupted it in some way. Has a problem like this come up before, and if so, was it already solved?

If you are using wi-fi: 1- Are you connected? 2- Check if you have full access or only limited access, limited means no internet connection provided. (if so, proceed step 3) 3- Ping your wi-fi modem IP address:
ping 192.168.2.1 (my modem local IP Address)
If you get high number in round trip time (in miliseconds), turn off your modem for about 1 minute.
3- ping any site that did not load
Wish it may help
Unfortunately, I don't use Wi-fi, so this doesn't help me too much. Thanks for the help, though. Maybe it could be useful if someone else has this sort of problem.
Are you connected by an internal, or external modem?
Unplug the power cord. Wait about 10 seconds for the unit to discharge, then plug it back in.
