constant errors with Bell internet/email resulting in huge delays

more options

Two days in a row I have not been able to get into my e-mail due to an error relating to the sign in to Bell services : webmail.bell.net. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR comes up every time. A Bell employee managed to get it sorted briefly yesterday by resetting my password for this Bell service, but despite having embedded that new password into the incantation to get into the site supposedly, the error is happening again today! They cannot get back to me in less than 24 hours (and it may be 48) so my tax returns are definitely going to be late this year..... added to the usual problems of staff unable to speak comprehensible English, frustration is making me feel quite ill. Browser is Firefox and operating system Windows 11

Hi, have you tried using the Microsoft Edge browser as a temporary workaround?

Another user reported problems with this service today as well: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1508587

For background, the PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR indicates that either the website or an intermediary device/service sent Firefox an RST packet, which is an instruction to immediately stop trying to connect. This could be caused by anything from a security system that thinks your request looks suspicious to filtering software that blocks the site.

Probably parental controls wouldn't affecting a mainstream email site, so let's consider possible reasons that a website's security system (Web Application Firewall) might think you are a bot or attacker rather than a normal user.

(A) If you are using a VPN when accessing these sites, try without the VPN.

When you are using a VPN, your IP address is from a remote system used by many strangers. So if that IP address is temporarily banned due to someone else's activity, that also will affect you. If you need the VPN, try selecting a different server or exit node in your VPN software.

(B) If you have customized any privacy preferences that affect browser requests -- for example, modifying your "user agent" or referring site header -- you may need to undo those changes

Also, some add-ons may modify headers in a way that looks suspicious to these systems. We can't really tell how your browser identified itself to the problem site based on how it identified itself to this site, because add-ons are restricted in how they interact with this site. Can you think of any add-ons you use that might make privacy-related tweaks to your requests?

(C) If you have Firefox set not to accept ANY cookies, that also could be a problem for some sites

(D) Maybe your requests are modified by an intermediary (such as a proxy server, your security software, or an interloper)

Although most people are not intentionally using a proxy server, Firefox may discover one set up in your system settings. Sometimes forcing Firefox to ignore those settings helps with weird connection issues. Here's how:

Open the Settings page using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Settings
  • (menu bar) Tools > Settings
  • type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the very tiny search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Network Settings" section of the page.

Click the Settings button, change the top setting to "No Proxy" and then click the OK button at the bottom of the dialog to save your change.

Any difference?
