firefox - the connection was reset

My Fedora client is 32-bit.
I opened firefox and searched "vscode" for downloading it.
Then I clicked the first page entitled "Visual Studio Code - Code Editing. Redefined"

firefox displayed:

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.

The firefox's version: 22.0

What should I do for it?

try again
if it fails try another site

if other sites are working it is a problem at their end

if no sites are working it is a problem with your connection to the internet
try another device, if things are woking there then it is a problem with the first device.

narrow down problem, is first device on wifi or cable?
the second? wifi or cable?

if no devices are working , you could try restarting your router
if still not working it could be a problem with ISP

check ISPs status page with mobile data, do they know they have a problem?

you are posting here, so you at least have some internet :D
so just try again

My Firefox is version 68. This means that yours is ancient. Your Firefox might be unable to cope with some features of the page it is trying to display.

I have no problem displaying the page you are referring to: https://code.visualstudio.com/.

A simple test to check if the problem is outside of the browser: Open a terminal window and access the page with curl (it should be installed):

Code:

$ curl -o studio https://code.visualstudio.com/

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed  Time    Time    Time  Current

                                Dload  Upload  Total  Spent    Left  Speed

100 44921  100 44921    0    0  44300      0  0:00:01  0:00:01 --:--:-- 44300

$ ls -l studio

-rw-rw-r-- 1 bbausch bbausch 44921  8月 29 20:06 studio

Here is the download link, by the way. Perhaps it works: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/s...-distributions. However, I think it requires a 64bit OS.

On the client, Firefox can access other website, but https://code.visualstudio.com/download

I suspected Firefox is too old to access because when accessing Youtube it says "Oops, your web browser is no longer supported."

I tried update Firefox by

yum update firefox

but it says No Packages marked for Update.

Maybe my fedora is too old?

It's not running. Is this saying that the problem is browser itself?

no, your problem is connection to internet

well, that site ..

it could that they saw your connection as suspicious and firewalled you out.

It looks like you are posting from windows
so that Fedora/Firefox may have no internet after all.

the old Firefox 22 is that really the version?
how old is the Fedora?

can they be updated?

Yes, the Firefox is version 22.0. I upload it as attachment.

I typed "yum update firefox" and terminal said: No Packages marked for Update

It seems this 22 version is the newest version...

Yes, your Fedora is to old. According to DistroWatch the default firefox version for Fedora 19 was 21. If you are running Fedora 19 it went End of Life in 2015, so has its repositories and therefore no packages to update.

You can try clearing Firefox's cache and cookies and / or try starting it in safe mode which will check if an extension is causing problems.

Since the latest Fedora version is 30 the best way to update is to install from scratch.
