The problem I'm having has started happening only recently. The basic outlook is that, after running Firefox for a long while (several days to several weeks) the browser denies me access to random websites with the following error message:
Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
Contrary to what you may think, my internet connection is fine as both IE7 and Opera, as well as cmd.exe's PING function can access the internet without problems. If there's a chance this keeps up with other websites which I may actually need I will be forced to look for more reliable alternatives.
As it stands, the problem resolves itself if I reboot Firefox. However, rebooting Firefox everytime this happens, even with a session saver, is a hassle I'd rather not take altogether. If there's a chance this keeps up with other websites which I may actually need I will be forced to look for more reliable alternatives. Last thing I need is Firefox deciding to deny my viewing rights while doing something mission-critical.
Installed extensions are:
NoScript 1.7.8
Rikaichan 1.04
Tab Mix Plus 0.3.6.1.080416
Website(s) affected as of writing are:
http://www.kongregate.com/ (denied 2 times now)
Firefox version is 3.0.1
OS is Windows XP Professional, SP3.
Machine specs are a Pentium 4 2.66GHz with 512MB of RAM, with an Nvidia GeForce 6200 PCI.
Internet connection is a DSL line.
No firewalls are installed, and Windows Firewall is disabled. So chances of a firewall interfering with Firefox is slim to none.
Firefox's RAM usage as of writing is 122MB, virtual RAM usage as of writing is 210MB.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could inform me of a way to resolve this, or if this was a known bug in Firefox or one of the extensions I have.
Thank you,
