On screen it says "the proxy server is refusing connections" Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. The result is no internet.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

See "Firefox connection settings":

THANKS for the reply. It worked perfect and now I am back in operation. My other computer uses Proxy and works fine but mine did not . Now that I have clicked "no Proxy" it works again.
