Does the "No proxy" setting stay if you close the Options window or close and restart Firefox?

This may be caused by malware. There's some malware running around that changed Firefox's proxy setting to be its proxy site (and overloaded you with spam) but that proxy has since been taken down (I think) resulting in all sorts of errors.
