I am using a desktop with Win 7 plugged into a cable modem (no router).
With increasing frequency, I am randomly getting this message in Firefox
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
This happens instantly when I click a link or try to load a page. Refreshing the page over and over eventually fixes it.
I would like to explicitly point out that it also happens in other browsers at the same time, too.
Also, with just as much frequency, I will have webpages load, but the layout of the page will be COMPLETELY messed up... things out of place, missing graphics or misplaced text or icons, or it looks like the web page is from the year 1994.
Again, repeatedly refreshing will fix it, and eventually my browsing experience will go back to normal for a while, before it randomly starts again.
I have run a full Avast and Malwarebytes scan. I have switched to Open DNS and flushed my DNS. My internet connection tests ok...good speed tests, good trace routes, good Pingtest.net results.
One caveat to all this is that recently my ISP (Charter) made some "adjustments" on the line due to my complains of a lagging connection. After the adjustments were made, my page loads are super-fast and clean, but it honestly seems like this new problem started at the same time approximately. The sad thing is, it's hard to blame them for this since all the above mentioned tests of my line are normal.
I am simply at a loss and very frustrated at this point, and any insight would be massively appreciated!
