I am trying to help someone from New Zealand find an obituary. She is looking for Joseph Ceciri who died in January 1984 in Rockford, Winnebago County, Illinois. I am sure she would pay for the subscription if he is in the archives. Thank you, Linda Goodwin. 

Joy Depends on what you want to do. I have an android tablet, and phone, and I can put "The Master Genealogist" on it via GedStar Pro. HOWEVER, it is "read only." You cannot add/change information and then have it sync with your "home" program. But, it's great for taking with me when I don't want to haul the laptop. Just have to remember to do the data entry when I get back home.

Hey after a lot of searching I may have found the answer for you Wanda. With a Firefox window open click on "tools" in the menu bar, then select options in the drop down menu. Click on the advanced icon then click on the "network" tab. The "connection" box is the first thing on the top of the page that shows up and you need to click on the "settings" button in that box. Another window opens and the top item is "no proxy" and if you click in the circle next to it that should correct your problem unless AT&T requires a proxy setting and that you would have to call them for but as you can see there is provision for setting a proxy on the page. Click on OK and see what happens. Any changes you make will only affect Firefox and not IE should they get a fix quickly. ** On 01/05/2014 3:34 PM, Jim Hope wrote: > I am confused here as I cannot find any place in Firefox to configure a > proxy server.

Firefox will not load. Neither will IE now. Cannot get a toolbar.

Jim, this is the message I am receiving when attempting to open Firefox, and now even IE: "The proxy server is refusing connections Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working" My mail program works, just can't get a browser to open, and this only since downloading Firefox.

Microsoft announced today they are fixing IE, including fix for XP even though they quit updating it a couple of weeks ago. juanita > > I can't help you with Firefox - not technically savvy enough.

Contact A T & T if that's your internet provider. I had similar problems with Thunderbird for my e-mail after I got my new computer and started using Windows 8.1. I contacted my ISP and got it solved without much problem at all. Hope this helps.

In view of the security problem with IE, I downloaded Mozilla Firefox. Now I am receiving the following message: Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. Is this something I can correct or must I call AT&T? I hate to change any configuration as I like IE and will go back to that when the security problem is corrected. Thanks for help. Wanda

Just saw this: HEADS UP: An update for Internet Explorer was released today to fix a security flaw that allowed attackers to take control of a computer. The company reported the problem over the weekend and said that the versions affected were IE 6 through 11.
