    Running Firefox with Win7

    When I’ve done a Google search and click on one of the sponsored links, the page changes to a page that says

    The connection was reset
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading

    And then gives 3 possible reasons, none of which apply.

    I have no trouble with non-sponsored links or "˜hits’. And I have no problem with my other computer, also running Firefox, but with WinXP.

    My first question is whether this is a Firefox or Google issue. And how can I fix this.

    Hi helpseeker,

    Probably not a Firefox issue. You might try using a different search engine, such as DuckDuck Go Plus (yeah, I know, it's a stupid name :)).

    Thanks.

    Figuring it was a Firefox issue, I went to a Mozilla forum. Several members suggested re-setting Firefox, so I tried that, and it worked. Everything is aok now.
