I've been using Firefox for years and never had this happen. I'm getting "secure connection failed" errors with "pr_connect_reset_error" on every single site I try to visit, it just started today. I've tried every possible solution I've found on Google, the only thing that has worked at all is clearing the browser cache and restarting the computer, but then when I left the computer and came back about an hour later the error messages were back. I need a fix for this ASAP, I'm about ready to give up on Firefox completely.

Web search; https://www.bing.com/search?q=PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR This simply means, that the peer or some middlebox in between (firewall) is terminating the connection.


Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
  • Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

Already tried this, even tried disabling Kaspersky entirely to see if it was causing the problem and none of that worked.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
