How can I access websites that I once accessed through my University's remote login system (university of toronto) directly?

For instance, when I type "scholar.google.com" in the search bar, I get re-routed to "https://login.library.utoronto.ca/cgi-bin/go_log.pl?url=http://scholar.google.com/". This does not happen in Safari. I am using Firefox v. 3.6.12. I have deleted my history and cleared my cookies but the problem persists. I wonder whether this is related to SSL encryption? In any case, I would like to eliminate this browsing barrier.

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

See "Firefox connection settings" in Server Not Found - Troubleshoot connection problems
