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 Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
