How can I change the proxy server in version 56? Also, how do I accept certificates?

I often need to turn the proxy server on and off as I use my laptop at my office, where there is a proxy server, and at my home, where there is not. It would be nice if Firefox were smart enough to determine if I'm behind a proxy server and then use the configuration I've already setup for that,but short of that, just having the advanced tab allowing me to change it is the minimally acceptable answer. Unless you prefer I use the windows browser at worker and Firefox at home.

You can use the search bar on the new about:preferences page to filter specific settings.

Network settings are under "Options/Preferences -> General : Network Proxy" (last section) Certificates are under "Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security: Security"
