"The connection was refused..." - THE SOLUTION
<u>Click here if you cannot load any website</u>
<u>Click here if you have problems loading some webpages</u>
A collection of solutions posted in this forum:
1. If you have a firewall, you should grant internet access to Firefox.
2. Under: Tools | Options | General | Connection settings | Direct connection to the internet <choose this
3. Follow these steps: forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=866722#866722
If still no luck, post to this thread! Tell us in which sites does the problem occur and what OS (eg Windows XP...) you have.

I also have the same problem. I have no firewall, no proxies, basically nothing to alter the internet connection from a fresh install of win xp. My internet explorer works fine (although I hate IE), but every page in firefox is "connection refused" immediately (i.e, no timeout). I initially tried installing version 1.0 over firefox 0.8 when i first got the error. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled. same thing. then I uninstalled, deleted all firefox folders (including cache), restarted, adn reinstalled. I'm still getting the "connection refused" error. Again, Internet explorer works fine. No firewall. Any ideas? I'd really hate to be stuck with IE again.
