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.

i go on kellybluebook.com and it tells me it has detected ad blocker and to turn it off and refresh the page. how do i turn off add blocker or what program is it associated with? I have Kapersky internet security, but cannot find where my ad blocker setting is...help

I was trying to download a MOV player from CNet (never again) and now I am stuck with Ads by Strong Signal popping up all the time. Searching the internet is say to go to Add/Remove and remove it but is not there. I ran Malwarebite and Spyboot but no luck. Please help. Thanks

YouTube works fine. Other websites play videos, no problem. But then I'll go to a website and see a message that the video is either corrupt or is not supported. When I search for how to play mp4 in Firefox I end up at this site: http://www.jwplayer.com/blog/the-state-of-html5-firefox-now-supports-mp4/ With the huge headline Firefox Now Supports MP4. No, it ****ing doesn't! A bit frustrated, because everywhere I look for help on this, I either come across pages saying it should work, Firefox supports mp4 etc, OR forums where it's webmakers asking the question and then the solution is something wrong in their coding - which doesn't help me, the lonely end user. When I go to this suggested test site: http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4 I get the error message: Video can't be played because the file is corrupt. No, it's not. I can download it and play it on WinAmp. When I go to this suggested test site: http://www.html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/ I get the error: No video with supported format and MIME type found. Huh? Again, I can download and play it fine. But Firefox won't play it. Soooooo Is there a fix in the wind? Is there something I can tweak or change to make Firefox recognize and play this stuff? Is there a plugin/extension/addon that I need to download to play mp4? If this is a known problem that is going to be fixed eventually, is there something I can do as a substitute (ie a plugin for now)? Because it seems like the only alternative is to abandon Firefox and start using Chrome, which has no problem with the above-mentioned videos.

I am entirely unable to ever watch a video in Firefox which requires the Adobe Flashplayer plug-in. In fact, IF I activate the plug-in, Firefox goes into a "not responding" mode, which never ends. I DO, after anywhere from 15 to 40 minutes get a script quit responding message, but regardless of how I answer it, another freeze (or the same one) occurs, and after another interminable wait, I get a repeat message. This happens so many times I've left it to run more than 12 hours, then checked it, to find the message windows stacked. When I cleared the last of 20+ windows at the end of the 12 hours, I immediately got another freeze. The only fix to date has been to kill Firefox, either from the Task Manager, or from the "red X, and kill it now instead of waiting" options. Then, on restart, I have to get quickly to the add-ons page, and re-disable Adobe. The version of Firefox I'm running is 35.0.1 The version of Adobe I'm running is Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305. I ran, over the space of 20 hours, several malware hunters (malware bytes, Microsoft System Security, AVG, AVAST, Spybot S&D, and others I can't remember now) with several issues found and cured. None, though, fixed this. My machine is an ACER Aspire 5732Z, running Windows 7, 64-bit. This problem cropped up about 2 months or less ago. I'm wondering if it is related to the latest version of Shockwave, and possibly occurred after a(n automatic) update.

Starting today when I bring up any video on Youtube there is no sound. This problem is ONLY on Youtube. Audio is fine on all other sights. When I finally got the Yahoo Browser up, audio on Youtube is OK. Only on Firefox is there no audio on Youtube ONLY. All else has audio on Firefox as normal.

Its very annoying and i cnt find nothing similar to that problem on the internet. I dont know if it is related to adblock plus 2.6.3. extension on my browser or not. Yeah,and after mozzila opens that blank new window it goes to that link i clicked on (no matter if i clicked new tab or not)...so i can browse the internet but new blank windows are piling up and as i said...its very frustrating

When I go to a site and try to open something (like a monthly statement, etc.) instead of opening it in pdf so I can read it Firefox makes me download it, save it, and then open it. Then I have to go through the whole find it and delete it routine if I don't want to keep it. Don't know why this started to happen recently, and it does not do it on all sites.

I use Windows 7 Home Edition and Firefox .What is the easiest way to transfer Firefox from my Old Computer to my New Computer saving all my ADD ONS ,SETTINGS AND FAVOURITES

My Firefox window is slightly bigger than my desktop size, so I get a hold of the bottom corner to resize the window horizontally. Is there any keyboard shortcut or other way to do this?

Shockwave flash is causing hangs giving 'firefox is not responding' message and slows my internet experience. I know its the flash add-on because when i disable it, firefox performs much better. I've tried all the suggestions concerning flash problems on this site and nothing has worked. I am running win 7 64 bit (home premium). plus Firefox 36.0.1. All drivers appear to be up to date but i will double check.

my question is.... is there a way to easily disable/enable flash w/o going into the add-ons manager? Depending on what i'm doing, i'm in add-ons manager to either enable it when i need it or to disable it when firefox is slow and hangs.

I've gotten to the point where i just open add-ons manager in a tab and leave it open because i know i'll probably be in there turning flash on or off depending on how its effecting my machine.

Also, i tried running flash in 'ask to activate' mode, but you have to reload the page so it can find the add-on.

This problem has been ongoing for a couple of months now; Firefox performance used to be so much better but this problem doesn't seem to be getting resolved. I like firefox, I really don't want to go to another browser.

Thanks, Duke

I have Firefox 23.0.1.

I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a json file on another disc, and merge these with my existing bookmarks.

I only have options to import an html file. I can also use restore to bring in the file, but this will overwrite my current bookmarks, and I want to merge the two.

- anyone have a problem with this? I can't get the CSS attribute font-face to work for downloadable fonts. @font-face {

     font-family: minecraft;
     src: url("../files/minecraft.ttf");

}

What is the sanitizer and how can I configure it to accept the downloaded font?

What *is* a container/"container tab"? (Please be consistent with the nomenclature)

Do I open tabs within these containers? I just opened a container/"container tab" and did a search from the search bar: it opened a new tab that does not appear to be contained or related to the container/"container tab" in any way. Am I supposed to be able to move tabs into these Containers? Maybe not, because sometimes they are referred to as Container Tabs themselves. Is this the desired behavior, and if so, why?
