Use System Proxy Settings - when this is selected in FF v3.6.6, does it adhere to the same local IE proxy setting? We use a pac file configured in "Use automatic configuration script."

Does anyone know what Firefox looks at locally on the PC when the "Use System Proxy Settings" setting is selected? It appears to be the default setting, recently changed from "No Proxy" of versions past...

Our company uses a pac file specified in IE under "Use automatic configuration script" - with this new default, does it adhere to the same setting in:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

I may be wrong but I think that the "Use System Proxy Settings" makes sense only on Linux and generally speaking "other OSes". As far as I know there is no generic proxy settings in Windows operating system. The one I know is in the registry part of Internet Explorer.

So in my understanding in Windows, Use System Proxy Settings = No Proxy

It is better not to use the default "Use System Proxy Settings" on Windows XP as it may not work properly on that platform. It should work on newer Vista and Windows 7 platforms.

We have the same problem on Windows 7 with a bit of a twist. Firefox will get the system settings from the machine when connected via the LAN but will not when using wireless.
