For a while, I used FireFox in a dialup mode. I have since moved to a wireless net, and have had to go to Tools/options/advanced, and select 'no proxy' to make it connect. Without that, I get the 'proxy refusing connections' message.

I see there are 2 prefs.js files (one is named prefsold.js) in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\y124ptue.default. I have attempted to restart Firefox using the -profilemanager switch, renamed the old profile so it would generate a new one, to no avail. It's real annoying to continually have to reset that 'no proxy' radio button. It must be picking up the proxy from Windows somewhere, but where?

I have also seen the proxy statement in the js file as listed here;

user_pref("network.proxy.http", "127.0.0.1"); user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 11535); user_pref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost,127.0.0.1:11535,update.microsoft.com,*windowsupdate.microsoft.com,*windowsupdate.com,download.microsoft.com,codecs.microsoft.com,activex.microsoft.com,liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com,liveupdate.symantec.com,service1.symantec.com,*.nai.com,*.networkassociates.com,*mcafee.com,*.mapquest.com,*.phobos.apple.com,update.adobe.com,admin.isp.netscape.com,");

Unfortunately this is as far as I got before with another individual, and never heard back.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
