143237 - Connection Refused after install of latest security updates

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Lee Jordan]

I am getting a "The connection was refused when attempting to contact 
www.mozilla.org". Get the same message for all urls I have attempted to 
contact. Problem started after applying the latest (today) security updates 
from microsoft. Mozilla build id is 2002041711.

Exactly which updates were those? I searched the XP area, but found no current
updates of relevance there. Can you provide the update ID, or the URL to where
you found it/them?

Reporter: Do you use a firewall, Proxy ?

This has nothing to do with MS updates. I have the same problem on OS/2 Warp and
Win2k. I think it is a change in the last few days in Mozilla, since I don't
recall this happening before. I get this attempting to contact 
    http://www.slcentral.com/deals/

This is an old link which usually just redirects me elsewhere (and still does in
Netscape and IE).

I don't see this bug on a current CVS build, Linux.
I also applied all security updates to WinXP and do not see the bug there either.
