I was using the web o/k restarted my computer, tried to conect to the internet web page came up but would not turn over, said trouble with proxy. Looked in tool, options, advanced, setting. The box next to Manual proxy config was ticked. Changed to auto detect proxy clicked ok then ok. Next it had reverted back to manual proxy, is there a way to save this on auto proxy config as it is a pain having to change it all the time. Thanks

See:

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).
