Recognizing the proxy settings

My Firefox just stopped recognizing my proxy settings. No matter even if I have settings in the fields or not... I can it be set to manual and let the proxy field and the port field empty and is always connected to the internet. I put the proxy settings in Internet Explorer and Chrome and they work properly... any suggestions?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • set the proxy settings

    I support approximately 1,000 customers and my manager has approved the use of FireFox with a condition that we put a proxy and it is whenever a user starts Firefox. I would like a VB Script that affects the proxy settings every time you start Firefox. I think that this could be done when the customer starts a script, the script sets the proxy settings and then launches the firefox program. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

    You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock the prefs or specify new values (default).

    Put a local file - settings.js in the folder defaults\pref also the file prefs.js - channel where to specify using mozilla.cfg.

    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
    

    These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:

    defaultPref();	// set new default value
    pref();		// set pref, allow changes in current session
    lockPref();	// lock pref, disallow changes

  • How can I stop Firefox from sinking my IP when I use the proxy settings?

    So basically I use settings from manual proxy on Firefox from time to time to be more anonymous. These proxies are normally rather slow (but hey, it's the price for you to pay for anonymity). Sometimes I'll see a sudden leap of speed. I suspected that the proxy may not work for some reason any. So, I use a website that tells you that your IP address is to see if the proxy settings are really working. Of course when I update the site it gives me my real IP. I have check the proxy settings and it turns out that the browser was restored to use the proxy settings of the system (for some reason that is the default instead of no proxy). This happens randomly and why not apparently when I use the Manual proxy settings and it flees my IP every time that happens (and I never know when it does, unless I am very attentive). Is it possible to prevent him from returning to the system without no reason proxy settings? BTW, I tested the proxy in question after what is happening so it still works which preclude the possibility of the proxy does not (even if that were the case, I'd rather my IP don't Connect at all that the leak). So yes, any help in getting it to stop doing that would be nice.

    Hi internetman, in your system more than details it shows as active. It may or may not be something, but try to disable in case it makes a difference.

  • Which is by default the proxy settings?

    I wonder what is the proxy settings setting? On my computer, it is set to "Use the system proxy settings", I wonder what should be the default value of the version of firefox that I use, which is the latest version of firefox.

    Not of Proxy is the default value.

  • Why the proxy settings are not respected

    I set up SSH as a proxy server on my laptop when I'm on a public network and configure Firefox to use the proxy by completing the manual Proxy config.

    If SSH doesn't work, I get this error message as expected: "the proxy server refuses connections" when I try to access any website EXCEPT Google.

    Searches on Google and access Google.com still works, even when the proxy server is not up. That seems broken.

    When the proxy server IS up, Google searches do not appear to use it.

    Google is my default search provider. If I try to access Bing, Firefox is behaving as expected (no access when proxy is out, throw up debugging indicating new connections when the proxy is up). If I change from Bing to be default search provider, the behavior of the two remains the same (proxy will use Bing, Google does not work).

    Why access to Google (and only Google?) ignore the proxy settings? Are there other sites of 'magic' that would also ignore the proxy? I use the proxy because I want to protect my internet traffic when I'm on public networks, if Firefox can randomly ignore them for some sites but not others, how can I trust him?

    My configuration problem. I realized that any site that uses https worked, while others are not.

    Somehow the "use this proxy server for all protocols" got unchecked. Audit, it solves the problem.

  • When I bring up Firefox it asks me to make sure that the Proxy settings are correct. What are the proxy settings?

    Set your settings to connect to the 'No proxy', if you are not using a proxy.

    Firefox 3.6.6 added a new preference for connection settings, use proxy Panel"system settings", and the default value is the point. " This new preference does not affect most users, because they probably do not have a proxy set in place in their operating system. Therefore, most users should use the setting "no proxy".

  • Map Quest - the proxy settings view

    Hello

    Go on the map for our boxes VRTX view, you receive an error "Attention - no access to the internet" and on the same page by clicking Actions - Settings I see that MapQuest uses the proxy settings defined in the preferences - settings on the Console.

    Could someone please point me in the right direction because I am unable to find any preferences in the menu structure. Under Settings - General settings I specified the proxy and the test is successful.

    V11 browser is able to access the internet as well and the search for auto warranty works fine as well.

    No idea how to get MapQuest to work? OME v2.1.0.2635

    Thank you

    Hello

    MapQuest uses the Proxy settings under Settings - General settings.

    MapQuest made it mandatory to use the API key while using their API for this reason. Since there is no provision to enter the key API of MAPQuest, warning message in 2.1 OME. This problem is fixed in the next version of 2.2 OME. However, even with the message warning, everything should work with the exception of the search operation.

    You can use BingAPI for MapView OME 2.1 by setting the key to Bing in action | Settings in the map display page.

  • Connection to the store of Windows without turning off the proxy settings.

    Original title: do not connect not not in the windows store

    It's been 2 months since I bought my laptop from sony with windows 8. not once it is is connected to the store or any other windows app despite the repeated attempts by the evolution of the proxy settings. Don't ask me to try to disable the proxy settings, because it's the only way I can have access to the internet. Please solve this problem as soon as POSSIBLE, or if not I'll have to switch to another mode of system.not only store I couldn't even connect to any windows app given.i have not yet updated my windows up to now.
    I tried each and all solutions that was posted on this issue.please suggest me proxy or any other solution parameters.

    Hi Jagan,

    1. When you say repeated attempts to change the proxy settings, have proxy settings you tried to change?

    2. your computer connected to a domain is?

    3. you receive messages or error codes?

    This problem could be due to some incorrect settings or because of the connection proxy you use.

    Using a proxy server can allow the administrator to limit access to the Internet.

    You can reduce the effect of these problems by allowing unauthenticated through your proxy server access. We recommend that you enable unauthenticated access only for connections to URLs used by each application that has a problem. Some proxy servers may suggest that you create a list of URLs (also known as the 'white list') permissions.

    Please refer to the article to address these issues that relate to the use of Windows Store apps or use of Microsoft applications that are included with Windows Update or Windows 8, you can include the addresses mentioned in the article in a list of permissions ('white list') on your proxy server and enable HTTP and HTTPS access for them :

  • Changing the Proxy settings

    I hope that someone who uses Firefox on a desktop personal computer that is not connected to a network can answer this question:

    In Internet Explorer, I know that unchecking automatically detect it 'settings' option in the network under the Connections tab settings allows you to load Web pages faster.

    In Firefox, there are four Configurations of setting Internet: 'not of Proxy,""Auto Detect Proxy Settings for this network,""use System Proxy settings"and"Manual Proxy Configuration","Auto-Detect"be the default option.

    1. which of these four parameters allows Web pages to load as fast they would in IE by unchecking ' settings automatically detect and what is the order of the other three configurations of the 'faster' to the slower?

    2. under "Caching are Web Content," the option "Override automatic management of the Cache" should be checked? If so, how many MB should cache limited? At present, the option is unchecked and set to 350 MB.

    Some Web pages load slowly then the above settings may need to be changed.

    Also, is there a 'Email Notification' option at the top / bottom of every thread created so that I know when someone has replied?

    -Very much appreciated.

    If you do not use a proxy, then you can select safe no Proxy. I don't expect to have a performance impact if you didn't use a proxy in the first place.

    The rest of the options simply control how the proxy is defined, not how fast the proxy is.

    For more details, see the following links.

    Firefox will try to determine the optimal cache size depending on the available disk space. There is no need to configure it manually. On the contrary, cached one very large can reduce performance if many small files will eventually be cached.

    When you post a new question or answer, you are automatically subscribed for updates by e-mail. You can control this by increasing the Question top tool section on the right and clicking on "Get Email updates" or "Stop Email Updates" (depending on if you are subscribed to updates to update or not).
