I know there were older questions where Internet options may affect Firefox downloads. Mainly I'm trying to see if temporarily internet files, proxy, and advance options within Windows Internet Options will affect the latest stable version of Firefox.

Temporary Internet Files: Firefox has its own separate cache folder.

Proxy: By default, Firefox's proxy setting is "Use system proxy settings." Not sure whether IE Options are the same as system proxy settings, but I would not be surprised if they are.

Advanced Options: There are too many of these to discuss, however in general, it is difficult to see how any settings related to page rendering in IE would affect Firefox.
