Firefox wont stay on no proxy setting

Firefox keeps changing to proxy settings

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

How can I stop Firefox from switching to proxy setting from no proxy

I have a Fios connection so the proxy setting is "no proxy" . Every time I close Firefox, it switches to the proxy setting button and highlights a proxy. It has just started doing this about 5 days ago after 3 years on this computer. It doesn't do it on my laptop. Each time I check the "no proxy" button to connect, but the next time I open Firefox, it's back to proxy.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I stop Firefox from re-setting its internet connection configuration every time I re-open the browser? It should stay at "no proxy" but doesn't.

In the past couple of days, every time I close Firefox 8.0, it re-sets the internet configuration to "manual configuration" -- which generates a "proxy server refusing connections" error message. I have to re-set to "no proxy" every time I re-open the browser. This never happened before yesterday. What can I do to make the "no proxy" setting an automatic default on opening? ISP is Verizon high-speed.

Firefox will not keep the "no proxy" setting. I have to select every time I load Firefox. How can I get it to keep the setting?

I have to select the 'no proxy' setting every time I load Firefox. It will not keep the setting. I cannot find a way to get it to retain that information.

Hi,
Please [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved see this.] To open your profile folder: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder'''.
You can also try to start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] and in the first screen choose '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart'''. This is the same as deleting prefs.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder], which erases all the manually set options as well as those set by extensions.

I can't load internet after resetting Firefox due to proxy setting problem

I reset Firefox because I received a message that I could do this to speed up the starting process. When it finished I am not able to get into the internet. i get a message that the proxy setting is not working. I don't know how to fix this problem.

Separate Issue; Update your
Flash Player '''v15.0.0.189 http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/'''
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Upgrade to Firefox now defaults to a proxy server setting - how do I stop this???

I use Windows XP and Earthlink is my internet provider. About a week ago I downloaded the upgrade to Firefox. Since that time, everytime I connect to the internet I get the error that Firefox is trying to connect thru a proxy server - I do NOT work thru a proxy server. I have to go into internet options in my control panel, go to connections and remove the proxy server checks in both the dial-up settings and the LAN settings. THIS DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE PRIOR TO THE UPGRADE!! I tried to go back in my computer settings to a date prior to the upgrade, but that did not change anything. HELP!! What can I do to stop Firefox from defaulting to a proxy server setting???? Earthlink tells me that this is not an Earthlink problem, that it is being caused by the Firefox explorer.

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":

Pushing FireFox proxy setting via NAL

I need to be able to push a change to the FireFox browser proxy setting
using ZenWorks. The setting is in a file called user.js, which FireFox
reads and adds to prefs.js when FireFox starts. I can create the user.js
file, but it needs to be copied to
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default , where "xxxxxxxx" appears
to be a random series of characters chosen by FireFox when the FireFox
profile is created (the one for my profile is "yo1j350j.default"). This
is where I am having the problem.
Ok, I know that I can use %Appdata% to point to the user's application
data directory. However, how do I address the "xxxxxxxx.default directory
when it is different for each user? Is there some way to create a custom
macro in ZenWorks that the Application Launcher can use?
I suppose I could push the entire application over again, but this seems
like gross overkill when all I want to do is copy a text file with two
short lines in it to the workstations.
We have a series of workstation changes that need to be rolled out to
multiple locations - and this is the only one that I am having trouble
automating. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Ted

Wallpaper wont stay set.

I have a late 2011 MBP running ML - system is entirely up to date. i set my wallpaper frm SP and it will stay as long as the comp system is active. The moment the harddrive is set to sleep and completely inactive. I turn the comp back on and the wallpaper is back to "galaxy". Iv removed third party apps but still the wallpaper folder wont stay set? i am rather experienced with my mac so advanced help would be great. thanks:-/

You have a corrupt preference file most likely, see if this can help also install the free OnyX from Macupdate.com and under Verify there is a preference file checker.
The procedure is the same, seek and destroy it, reboot and reset that apps preference, it creates a new files free of the corruption.

I if use proxy settings my website layout it’s not consistent
If I don’t use proxy setting my website layout works fine. This problems appears only in IE .
If I change my browser to Firefox, Chrome or Opera my website works with my proxy settings

Proxy setting changes automatically

I have multiple wifi connection and some have proxy, some don't have.
I am using Lenovo access connection software for switching between these proxies and in firefox proxy set as use system proxy settings. still some times it automatically switches to manual proxy settings and takes value of one of the proxy settings.
pl suggest me a way to avoid such automatically change of proxy settings in firefox.

If you change the Network settings to Auto-detect proxy, does the manual proxy still get used when it is not supposed to?

Gmail wont stay on home page

gmail wont stay on home page. I always have to go to more downloads and click on gmail
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Gmail has a new option which allows you to sign in multiple gmail accounts at the same time. But remember, if you log-out one of the open Gmail accounts, the other will be logged off too. If you decide not to view one of the opened Gmail account, you can just close that tab:

Airport Icon wont stay turned on..

Thanx a lot in advance for your help

I seem to be having the same problem. We were in Mexico on vacation, and on the second day I was taking some photos near the water with some highways and some water splashed on the camera, but it seems to still be working for the next few hours. When I stop taking pictures and came back to the camera a few hours after, I tried turning it on and the set date and time settings screen was displayed. After I entered the settings, I was able to resume taking pictures. However, when I turned the camera off, then on again, that same screen displayed it again.
The next day, I went to turn on the camera, and the lands would not extend fully and will turn off main extension. When I held down the power button, it would retract back but not all the way. If I hit the playback button, I was only then able to fully close the lens. I'm thinking now in hindsight, I should have not tried to turn it on, and just put it in a bag of rice right away, but it's probably too late for that now, and since I'm thinking the water that got on it was salt water from the ocean, it might have corroded some terminals or some electronics inside, I'm not sure. But I don't think I want to pay $200 for Canon to just look at it, and then come back to me saying they can't fix the camera. The warranty has just run out, and I think I might be better off just buying a new camera.
