Hello, I installed the brand new firefox. When I try to go to any webpage I get this error message: 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.

I configured my network and set Auto Proxy Discovery but that does not help. This is on Mac OSX 10.7.5. Would appreciate help. thanks, MArk
