Upon startup Firefox says "Proxy is refusing connections." When I select "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced settings and solve problem, changes are not saved and upon next startup I must select again...!

Firefox 4 was working fine. Then one day, when I started up Firefox, it says "Proxy is refusing connections." I solved this by selecting "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced network settings, but my changes are not saved and upon every start-up I must select it again! (I even completely removed my webroot antivirus protection, as it as hindering many proxy related programs, but this seems to not be the source of the problem)

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":

Trying to setup a group policy to force auto detect proxy setting on multiple machines on our network

We have the proxy configured on our computers to use a pac file, now we need to remove the pac and set it to auto detect proxy on our network. Do you have a adm file that works with 7.0.1 or another way to push this out on multiple pc's.

You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Where can I read the proxy settings Firefox chose, when configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network"?

I would like to set my system network proxy settings to those, Firefox chose. Firefox is configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and this works fine. How can I read out the settings Firefox chose, so I can adapt these system?

Hello Richard,
Download MozBackup and make a backup of your bookmarks and passwords. Uninstall firefox and remove ALL folders with the name "Firefox".
Install Firefox and restore your bookmarks and passwords. Now you should have a fresh install so you have to make all settings again.

Using auto detect proxy when I close web pages it goes back to manual proxy config help please

I was using the web o/k restarted my computer, tried to conect to the internet web page came up but would not turn over, said trouble with proxy. Looked in tool, options, advanced, setting. The box next to Manual proxy config was ticked. Changed to auto detect proxy clicked ok then ok. Next it had reverted back to manual proxy, is there a way to save this on auto proxy config as it is a pain having to change it all the time.
Thanks

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.

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.

Time Machine unable to auto-detect Time Capsule as Backup Disk

Hey all!
I just got my new 500GB Time Capsule today. I'm able to connect to my wireless network via TC but am unable to back up any of my computers (2 MacBooks, 1 iMac) through Time Machine onto TC. In fact, Time Machine doesn't even auto-detect my TC. I've just updated all my software. I haven't checked if my MacBooks are able to print wirelessly via TC yet.
Anyone able to help?
Picture of what I see when I open my Time Machine preferences:
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l319/chuyun-/Picture1.png

File Sharing was already enabled when I went to AirPort Utility to check, and the Time Capsule disk wasn't visible under Shared. Thanks so much anyway skorpien, your help was much appreciated (:
I called up Apple Support and it's all fixed now, including the printer (:
So just in case anyone ever encounters the same problem as me, here's what the friendly guy said over the phone:
1. Go to System Preferences (Apple Logo/System Preferences)
2. Click on Time Machine and switch it on, a window prompting you to choose a Backup disk should appear.
3. If your Time Capsule isn't listed, click on "Set Up Time Capsule". (If that option isn't available, update your software before trying again)
4. The AirPort Utility window should appear with your Time Capsule listed on the left. Click on your Time Capsule, and then on "Continue".
5. Enter your Time Capsule Password, verify it, and then click on Continue" again.
6. If you already have a wireless network (like me), click on the first option, then continue.
7. If your wireless network requires your router to be connected to the phone line, choose Option 3 "I want to connect Time Capsule to my network using Ethernet to extend my current network or create a second network".
8. A list of previously used networks will appear. Choose the one you would like to extend (i.e. the wireless network you use at home if your Time Capsule is for home use).
9. (Because I'm currently backing-up my data, I'm unable to give exact instructions from that step onwards as it'll disconnect my back-up. Sorry!)
Finish up the last few steps (they're quite self-explanatory), and go back to your Time Machine preferences (Apple logo/System Preferences/Time Machine)
10. Switch the Time Machine on again, the window should appear again with your Time Capsule listed.
11. Click on your Time Capsule and then on "Use for Backup"
12. Your Backup starts (:
As for printing, once you've done the above steps...
1. Go to Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities/Airport Utility)
2. Double click on your Time Capsule, then click on Printers.
3. If your printer is switched on and connected to your Time Capsule, it should be detected automatically.
4. Click Update and you're done! (Do the same for all other computers you want to print wirelessly with)

My auto-detect proxy keeps resetting to manual which won't allow me to access the web

Frequently when I click to refresh a page or open an new page I get this message:
"The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working."
Tools>Options>Advanced>Configure how firefox connects to the internet Settings> will show that once again, the browser changed itself from auto detect to manual. I change it back to auto-detect and hit save, sometimes it works right away, sometimes I have to do it 3-4x in a row in order for the change to "stick"

Hi
there's a location services checkbox in Safari-Preferences-Security
and one in System Preferences-Security-General
However, many websites look at the country location of the isp connection you're using, which is a different matter, & not in control of the user. Some sites allow choosing a personal language/location setting, stored in a cookie.

Video times out on hosted website with Auto-detect proxy settings enabled

When going to our companies website our EMBEDDED youtube videos on the site fail to load while on our physical network (using proxy Auto-detect). The video works fine while on the wireless, or using Internet Explorer (w/autodetect).
However, if you manually enter the youtube links in the browser, the video works fine.
When the Firefox proxy is set to manual - the site and video works just fine.
When the IE proxy is set to autodetect - the video works just fine.
I used wireshark to figure out what is going on. The when clicking the video it tries to go straight out (not using the proxy) when it should actually use the proxy.
Our company cannot view our videos on our own network using this browser - PLEASE fix auto-detect bug.
MORE INFO:
- We have a Dansguardian/Squid proxy setup - non-transparent.
- We use WPAD file
Please let me know how we can resolve this issue without coding our videos to pop out into a new window (ruins the look and feel of the site).

Can you try with a modern version of Firefox? like 31? [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

How do "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and "Use system proxy settings" work behind the scenes?

How can I see what the proxy firefox actually uses when I check either of these two options?
Does it take it from Internet Explorer?
Are they stored somewhere in the registry?

Hi conectionist,
This is taken if there is a proxy set up in your network settings on your OS. If you would like to test there may be an add on:

Auto-detect & mount disk partitions and removable drives

I use ubuntu in addition to my current wip of installing arch linux.Now i have installed lxde desktop. But i am not able to see any of my partitions of my disk and other hdd. Besides removable drives also dont get mounted.
Similarly if a new partition is created the same also gets autodetected in ubuntu. eg my arch linux partition. I need not go to do any fiddling in the system to recognize the same.
So is it possible to achieve the same under archlinux?So want to know how to get the same done.
what i want is to have the partitions[ext & ntfs] detected when the filemanager is opened and mount/unmount at my will, just as i do now in ubuntu.
So far what i have done is based on the lxde wiki, i installed the polkit-gnome gvfs package but nothing is mounted.
i would like to have specific instructions to how to work out and get the above done.
pls guide to the same.

What do you mean when you say that pcmanfm is not displaying *any* partitions? You see no files at all? Or do you mean: it is not showing partitions not listed in /etc/fstab?
I mean it is not showing partitions not listed in /etc/fstab. As of now pcmanfm shows only the arch systems partitions which I created while installation : root, and home. Balance of partitions of other systems of the same drive and second hard drive is not shown.
When you say that in Ubuntu, newly created partitions show up automatically, do you mean that if you change the partitioning on your internal drive, the changes are automatically reflected in /etc/fstab?
Yes the changes are automatically reflected in the filemanager of ubuntu, ie. Nautilius. However Ubuntu fstab as you see in the previous post of mine contains no entry to other partitions other than just ubuntus.In the fstab I posted above you can very well see it just shows 4 partitions of hdd1 [similar to the way the arch fstab shows only its own] where it is installed :boot,root,home, swap. Whereas there is two more partitions there viz windows and a ntfs. You don’t see them in fstab, but when you open the nautilius filemanager you can see the drives. See the image link of my filemanger posted below at the end. In that shared data and windows are two ntfs partition of hdd1 where ubuntu is installed. Arch is installed on 2nd hdd alongwith a Ubuntu.289gb partition is a ubuntu LVM along with arch root and arch home you can see.
If you mean that Ubuntu automatically adds, mounts and unmounts partitions on removable drives when e.g. a USB stick is inserted or when you change the partitioning on one and create a file system, that you can configure to work automatically in arch.
Yes ubuntu automatically adds, mounts and unmounts partitions on internal drives and also removable drives when e.g. a USB stick is inserted . As you can see in the image i have posted, it shows all my internal drive partitions automatically. No fstab editing nothing. No fiddling with system files so far i have done in ubuntu. For eg i installed arch a month back, the same you can see is automatically seen in the image. All i required was to update grub to recognise árch'. Post that when you boot, automatically the new arch partitions are seen. No fstab fiddling anything. Thus tomorrow morning if i create a new partition on my hdd via ubuntu all i require is to reboot post the creation and i will see the new partition asap.
As you can see in the image all my partitions are seen, the one i want i click it and it gets mounted, if i dont want it stays/gets unmounted. And its not just ubuntu i saw the same in some other distros also like suse,centos,fedora.
As far as the lxde wiki is concerned, there it is mentioned to install polkit gnome gvfs for mounting and i did the same but nothing still happens.
So this is what exactly i am asking how to do the same on my arch system. So if i am guided i wil go ahead and work to achieve the same.

Geo Detection Services in IE9, IE10, and IE11

Geo Detection services are coming up several miles away from the user in these three browsers. In one instance over 100 miles away. This is not an issue in FireFox or Chrome. Why is the geo detection service displaying like this and is a solution in the
works or is this issue going to persist?

Hi,
Based on my research, Windows Internet Explorer introduces a built-in location provider that uses Wi-Fi location data and Internet Protocol (IP) address information to determine the latitude and longitude of the computer or device running
Windows Internet Explorer. The Geolocation API exposes the latitude and longitude to JavaScript in a webpage by using the geolocation object, which is a child object of the window.navigator.
Geolocation API is used in Firefox and Chrome in same way, but Firefox and Chrome use Google Location Services to determine your location.
That's why we get tiny different result.
