    Firefox Page Connection Was Reset
    « on: March 27, 2010, 08:41:26 AM »
    Hello.  I did a search, and could not find an issue that was like mine.  If there is one, I would be so grateful if you redirected me.

    I have been trying to access a web page on the internet, for some time, using Mozilla Firefox (Which is up-to-date.).  I thought the site was just unbelievable, but recently I tried accessing it using Internet Explorer, and it worked perfectly.  All other web pages open, quite quickly too, on Firefox...This page just goes straight to this:

    The connection was reset

    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

        *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
              moments.

        *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
              connection.

        *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
              that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.     


    Why is this occurring, and how can I fix it?  I can continue to use IE to view this page, but I perfer using Firefox.  Thank you.  :)

    What site ?
    What type of web connection do you have ?
    Have you re-set your modem recently ?

      This site is a blog...Everything else is working on Firefox.  I'm using it now to be on this board, so....

      Web connection, I do not know.  I do have a modem, and if you mean by unplugging to re-set, I have not done that.  Should I?

          Just wanted to say, I fixed the problem.  I did some more searching, and I found a web page that said to try deleting all cache and cookies, that pertain to the website that is having an issue, before trying to access the website.  I did this, and the site loads properly now....Still, thank you for your assistance patio.  :)
