"The proxy server is refusing connections"

Same thing here with tor browser bundle tor-browser-2.3.25-6_en-US.exe on a Windows XP system . I tried those different solutions on this page, no success.

I finally reverted to version tor-browser-2.2.37-1_en-US.exe and that works fine.

Usually this happens when

Usually this happens when you're unzipping the new TBB over an old one, rather than unzipping it to a fresh (empty) directory.

I just tested the latest dev

I just tested the latest dev version (tor-browser-2.4.12-alpha-1_en-US.exe) and it fixes the problem, whatever that was.

Please edit my previous comment, no need to revert to 2.2 :-)

Thx for the good work, tor dev !

Does not fix the problem for me.
I have tried all the suggestions here, nothing works.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to test some more before releasing a new build.

All these people, including

All these people, including me, have connection issues now. Is there a way to go back to a previous version and actually get this thing to work?

Me too. Never had the slightest problem with Tor or upgrading before. Comments about firewalls or settings may be well-intentioned but are just insulting our intelligence. We can't have all simultaneously screwed up our machines. This release is fucked.

I experienced the same

I experienced the same problem of "The proxy server is refusing connections" with Tor Browser Bundle 2.3.25-6. That's because the Socks 5 proxy in Firefox is misconfigured to port 9150 instead of 9050. I reconfigure it through Tor button > Preferences > Use custom proxy setting > SOCKS Host port and that fixed the problem.
Enjoy Tor.

I just spent the last 30 minutes on this problem - suffering for 2 days with it. And you just fixed it. You are brilliant!!! - why is this at the bottom of the page though???? -it should be on top!

PERFECT. It works, note that when you do this, click again the Tor Button and click on "new identity" and... magic, it works!
Thank you

Your solution worked fine last night, but not today!

The proxy server is refusing

The proxy server is refusing connections- The same Firefox problem everyone seems to have though this is a month later. I downloaded Tor and it worked fine until the next day when I got this notice. BTW I am not so savvy that I can do the complex (to me) reconfigurations and gyrations that seem to be required to fix this problem so I guess I will have to go elsewhere for security until Tor solves their problems with Firefox.
