Although all other browsers play all MP3 files properly, Firefox 60 after about 40 seconds of streaming returns this message: The connection was reset.

Example: http://www.sakisgouzonis.com/files/mp3s/Sakis_Gouzonis_-_From_The_Sky.mp3

I started Firefox in Safe Mode but the problem is still there. I also removed all of my add-ons but the problem remains.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Separate Security Issue, please update your Flash 28.0 r0 Flash Player Version: 30.0.0.113 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Hi, no idea, works fine for me. uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 60.0.2 with a Full Version Installer

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Thanks, Pkshadow! I updated Flash Player to the latest version, but for some reason the problem was solved only when I restarted my computer. Thanks again for your help! You are amazing!
