In may network envirounments there is a proxy server. I mean, at the office there is one, at the University another one, at home none... Every time I get a new place of this I have to change manually the proxy configuration. I think this is not so confortable. I discovered a Antivirus SW that has implemented that idea: First the sw try with the proxy settings, if it's failed it try without. It's not the best, but at own home this make sense. May firefox use more intelligent (may be autolearn: I mean by network id firefox can associate the proxy settings) proxy configuration settings. Thx a lot! FaB
