At work we are using a script to configure the proxy settings. This works fine as long as I am in the VPN or corporate network. However, when I use FF at home the script cannot be loaded (which is expected), but in order to access the internet I need to manually change the proxy settings or use a proxy switch add on. This is getting pretty annoying as I need to switch the network settings a lot. Is there a way to default the network setting to use "no proxy" if the script cannot be loaded?

I don't know if this is possible. if(script=failed){ //network.Force proxy config //set "network.proxy.type", 0 }

But something like this is akaik: http://askubuntu.com/questions/313483/how-do-i-change-firefoxs-aboutconfig...
