I have Mozilla Firefox installed, but whenever I try to bring it up I get a message that says "The proxy server is refusing connections" What do I do?

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.

The default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't always work properly on Windows XP and in such a case it is better to select "No proxy".

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

See "Firefox connection settings":
