I have multiple wifi connection and some have proxy, some don't have.

I am using Lenovo access connection software for switching between these proxies and in firefox proxy set as use system proxy settings. still some times it automatically switches to manual proxy settings and takes value of one of the proxy settings.

pl suggest me a way to avoid such automatically change of proxy settings in firefox.

If you change the Network settings to Auto-detect proxy, does the manual proxy still get used when it is not supposed to?

Tried with Auto-detect proxy, in that case net is not running at all, means it is not able to detect the proxy. Again I have to set back to use system proxy and the issue reappears.
