My brother had this error message today and can't use the internet, this error pops up every time he goes to any website. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Sounds like your brother has privoxy enabled, if he doesn't know what it is or how it works he should probably disable it.

You would have to reset the Firefox connection settings.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings

You can select "Use the system proxy settings" or "No Proxy" in case the former doesn't work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
