There's nothing wrong with your internet connection, it's just that your using a proxy server. Here's what you need to do:

 

Optimize your browser

 

Tools > Options > Privacy > Under History, you can choose from the dropdown if you want to remember history or not > Click on Clear your Recent History > Follow the steps above > After doing this, Click on remove individual cookies > Click Remove all Cookies > Click Advanced > Network > Connection > Settings > Put a mark on No proxy > Click OK > Go to Offline Storage on the same page > Check how many MB of space for the cache > Click Clear Now > Click OK (bottom of the page)

 

Close your current Firefox Browser and pull up another one. Try logging on to any website, see if you will still have the same problem.

The Proxy Server Refused Connection

To fix this, you need to set your browser to use no proxy. Click on tools, then click options. Click on the Advance category and click on the Network tab. Click the settings button and select the radio button for No Proxy. Close your browser and re-launch it, that should resolve it. Here are some screenshots:
