I upgraded to 8.0 and browser says its configured for proxy server and will not load pages. I dont run through a proxy
I have had firefox since this computer was new and never had an issue. when I was prompted to update to 8.0 I thought nothing of it... but since it updated I get the error screen with: 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.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
