Disable proxy failover

more options

Hello,

We have set a fixed proxy in Firefox on our employees' notebooks. However, when the notebooks do not have a VPN connection to our network, the proxy cannot be reached. Firefox then disables the proxy after a short time. I found the setting network.proxy.failover_direct under about:config and thought that setting it to false would solve the problem. However, Firefox behaves the same way.

How can I prevent Firefox from accessing the internet except through the specified proxy?

Thank you.

Are you IT or just user of the company computer? I would think this would be for the company computer consultant IT to resolve this issue?
