I get a message that I ned to check proxy settings. What does this mean?

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.
I cannot open firefox because I get htis message above. Don't know what to do.

I can't see what version of Firefox you're using because you've deleted that information. So here are the settings for both. 
For Firefox 4.0.x 
* Click the orange Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced | Network (tab) | Settings (button) and checkmark "Use system proxy settings" or "No proxy". 
For Firefox 3.6.x 
* Click Tools | Options | Advanced | Network (tab) | Settings (button) and checkmark "Use system proxy settings" or "No proxy". 
If you choose "Use system proxy settings" which is the default, Firefox connects to itself which provides a certain degree of safety.
"No Proxy" connects directly to the Internet.

To install firefox 5.0, message says avast1web rep20110101 will be disabled. What does this mean? Will it disable the avast antivirus installed on my computer?

What more can I tell you? Firefox recommends 5.0 be installed. When I try to do so, I get a message that says some addons are not compatible. specifically avast web rep 20110101. I have no idea what avast web rep 20110101 is and am concerned that it refers to the avast antivirus protection installed on my computer. I need to know if that is what the message means & that if I install 5.0, I will disable the antivirus protection.

Does this mean that Avast will continue to scan for viruses and protect my computer from harmful or malicious internet diseases?

If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
To fix this
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."
