settings were working fine and now i cannot get the proxy setting to work at all.

i did a complete uninstall, clean re-install, reset the manual proxy (which worked before, no problem) as it was before, restarted browser, checked IP, not working.

FF not my default browser. No other settings were changed, other than update.

the settings were saved, as in they weren't wiped in the dialog box, but they were being ignored.

tried 3x. tried closing all apps and running. reset everything. nothing. FF is still completely ignoring the setting. ugh.

any ideas?

thanks!
