Hi,

My son has been playing with proxy settings on my PC. They do not seem to be correct. How can I reset them or input the correct proxy info? Or was there a proxy in the first place? I'm completely lost, any help gratefully received. Thanks

hello, if your settings don't "stick" after a firefox restart, then probably an addon is interfering or a user.js file is overwriting your custom preferences: How to fix preferences that won't save

You can check the connection settings here:

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":

Thanks for that info. The no proxy setting keeps setting itself to auto detect, cannot seen it get it to stay still.
