Correct proxy setting for background update

Hi all, trying to configure autoupdate settings for my org, as we're discovering several out of date installations.

One sticking point I'm seeing is that I see conflicting documentation on the required proxy setting for background updates to work.

This page states that the correct proxy setting is to use system settings https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-background-updates-firefox-windows

Meanwhile, this page states that proxy settings must not be configured. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/mozapps/update/docs/BackgroundUpdates.html

Which one is authoritative?

as an aside, some of the required prefs cited in the second document don't appear in about:config on the current version. I do see app.update.background.allowUpdatesForUnelevatedInstallations and app.update.auto.migrated which I'm assuming for the moment are the correct prefs, but can that be confirmed?
