My Firefox always changes Network settings to 'Use Manual Proxy' after every PC restart, even if I change the option to No Proxy/Auto detect proxy.
My Firefox 4 always changes the Network settings to Manual Proxy Configuration after every PC restart. I have to always go to connections and change this setting to No Proxy or Auto Detect Proxy Settings for this network. I also tried to revert the values back to default values by using about:config and changing modified values back to default. But it still doesn't works out. Kindly help. Thank you.

The same problem.
- Set Network settings to No Proxy
- Disable addon Screengrab
- Restart Firefox
I have Screengrab 0.96.3, XP SP3, FF4. Disabling helped me.

Under your
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network (tab) -> Offline Storage -> Click the "Clear Now" button.
Then click the "Settings" button and check the box for "Auto detect" and click OK
Lastly remove Screengrab by going to Tools -> Addons -> Extensions -> ScreenGrab -> Remove
Restart FireFox and reinstall ScreenGrab. =)

I had a virus, it could be triggering this: Backdoor:Win32/Cycbot.B is a backdoor trojan that allows attackers unauthorized access and control of an affected computer. After a computer is infected, the trojan connects to a specific remote server to receive commands from attackers. The commands may include instructing the trojan to update itself, visit web links, or download and execute arbitrary files. I would advise to check your system
I had this too, I tried running Firefox in safe mode (no add ons) - that didn't make any difference. I could save other preferences, just not the proxy setting. I'm 99.99% sure I didn't have a virus or other malware. This was only affecting Firefox, no other browser I has installed.
In the end I created a new profile - http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles - that seems to have 'fixed' it for me - the new profile doesn't have the problem, but the old one still does.
Windows 7, Firefox 4.01.
Cheers
Same happens with Firefox 7.0
İf you people had the same problem that i had minutes ago with firefox after restarting firefox it gives error something like: ___________________________________________________
De proxyserver weigert verbindingen
Firefox is ingesteld om een proxyserver te gebruiken die verbindingen weigert.
Controleer of uw proxyinstellingen juist zijn. Neem contact op met uw netwerkbeheerder om te controleren of de proxyserver werkt.
