dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934044

I have a cable modem and N wireless and wired router. Win 7 64 bit Prof. My desktop is wired through a backup UPS directly to the CPU. The wireless connection is used for a portable and some occasional networking from that portable. When I go to set the proxy, the router IP is set and I can check the box that says "no proxy for localhost xxx.x.x.x (which is the router IP). It seems to work fine. Is this the proper way to set the proxy given my configuration? I started looking at this because FF, my preferred browser, is also the slowest in bring up sites and I can't figure out why. It always says "waiting for the site name" and it takes longer than IE, Chrome and even Maxthon. I wondered whether an incorrect proxy setting could be in the way. Thanks for reading this and any help you can offer. Lou3000

There should be a comma between the IP numbers and localhost in the No Proxy box. "localhost, XXX.XXX.X.X, YYY.YYY.YYY.Y"
