Since up ugrading to FF10, I have found that I have to restart FireFox everytime I move my laptop to a network with a different (or no) proxy server. I have FF configured to use mmy system proxy settings and when I take my laptop in sleep mode from home (no proxy) to the office (corporate proxy) or vice versa, I have to restart Firefox to get it to recognize the new proxy settings. FF9 never had this problem and IE 8 continues to manage this switch the switch without a problem.
