Hey thanks. I have browsed a dozen sites where this problem is mentioned and no cure worked. I had on my own cleared cache and forms but not cookies. I still don't see why cookies should cause that behavior but it's a relief to have back the few sites that I had been locked out of by this consternating error.
Hi
if you are still having this problem, I feel for you, its a really crappy bug and the fix is going to wind you up even more.
The fix is what fixed it for me, this maybe not the same for you, if you are using vista, firefox and AGV
Fix
Firefox/tools/Add-on's
Disable
AGV safe search 8.5
hope this works

I have been having a problem with "Firefox Connection Interrupted" while using "mail2web.com" site. Eventually I concluded that this problem started after I downloaded a "dictionary" site. I tried a zillion ways to eliminate the problem & then solved it by
1. Open Mozilla Firefox site
2. click on "tools"
3. click on "Add- ons,
4. On the next screen click on "extensions".
Now on this screen I found the problem extension that was loaded during the dictionary download. I clicked on that extension & found that there was an icon to "uninstall" the problem "Add-on". There was even an icon that allowed me to restart Firefox. After the restart, everything is loading as it has been for years. At this point the only item shown on my "extensions" page is "Java Quick Starter".
Additional Info.
My problem started when I did a search for "Dictionary". When I clicked on the very first line under "Search Results", which was "Online Dictionary" I was directed to download "Alot Dictionary" which resulted in a new toolbar on my screen which I did not want. Items 1. thru 4. above outline how I got rid of this "problem site" with my Windows XP

I had this problem. It happened in all my Firefox profiles, some of which didn't have any extensions. It didn't happen with Safari, ping worked OK, etc - nothing to do with the router or network.
In a clean (no extensions) Firefox profile, I disabled all the multimedia plugins - Flip4Mac, Quicktime, ShockwaveFlash and Silverlight. Re-tried Facebook, and it worked. Re-enabled the above plugins one by one to see which one it was - it still works now, with all four enabled. Cleared caches etc, still works.
So I figure somewhere, some content has caused one of the above plugins to save some state which prevents it working, and that some advert on facebook's main page uses said plugin to stream some content. Turning the plugins off and on again has presumably reset the plugins configuration state to default.
It's possible that whatever corrupted one of these (notoriously vulnerable) plugins might have been an attempted exploit, so I wouldn't advise ignoring the problem.
Recommended fix, given network is OK and problem is actually with Firefox:
1) Disable all multimedia plugins
2) re-enable or, preferably, update them with new ones, sourced independently
(by independently I mean not via their own update checkers - chances are,
any exploit is trying to replace the plugin with a zombie of some sort.)
