Firefox doesn't save proxy settings correctly

I run Firefox 7.0.1 on a Windows XP SP3 machine and I'm behind a proxy server. For my usual workingplace we use a proxy script. However, when travelling, I have to choose a specific proxy servers' IP address. After returning to my office I change back to the script. However, the next day, the settings are back to the IP address again, meaning, FF does not save my settings correctly.
