The proxy server is refusing connections after Firefox 18 Update

2011-08-16-10-18-08-ec0666[1]After updating Firefox to Version from version 17 to 18 via automatic update it displays the following error message when trying to vists SSL sites ( via HTTPS://)

“The proxy server is refusing connections”

After rolling this back down to version 17 with the installer it starts to work again

We do use a proxy onsite provided by Network Box with no authentication.

I have had to disable automatic firefox updates via , to stop it updating

Select “Tools” and “Options” and wait for the pop-up window to appear. Choose “Advanced” and “Update.”
