Problem
While using Firefox you keep receiving the following message:
rw_sendSocketMessage (1) error: [Exception… “Component returned failure code: 0x804b000d (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED) [nsIOutputStream.write]” nsresult: “0x804b000d (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)” location: “JS frame :: chrome://texthelphighlighter/content/THHighlighter.js :: rw_sendSocketMessage :: line 2” data: no]
Solution
You can disable the Texthelp Highlighter plugin if you do not use it:
- In Firefox, click Tools (at the top) -> Addons.
- Click the Extensions tab.
- Find the Texthelp Highlighter and click Disable.
Alternatively, you can try reinstalling the plugin:
(With thanks to Eimear of Texthelp)
- Ensure Read&Write has been closed.
- Open Firefox.
- Go to Tools > Add-ons.
- In the Extensions section of the Add-ons windows select ‘TexthelpHighlighter’ and click on ‘Uninstall’ or ‘Remove’.
- Close Firefox.
- Open Read & Write.
- Open Firefox.
- Go to our website, http://www.texthelp.com and select some text, then click the ‘Play’ button on the Read&Write toolbar. You will be prompted to install the plugin to enable Read & Write to highlight and read from the Firefox window.
- Close Read&Write and Firefox, then re-open Read & Write and Firefox and read some text from the Firefox window using Read&Write.
