I can't see what version of Firefox you're using because you've deleted that information. So here are the settings for both.
For Firefox 4.0.x
- Click the orange Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced | Network (tab) | Settings (button) and checkmark "Use system proxy settings" or "No proxy".
For Firefox 3.6.x
- Click Tools | Options | Advanced | Network (tab) | Settings (button) and checkmark "Use system proxy settings" or "No proxy".
If you choose "Use system proxy settings" which is the default, Firefox connects to itself which provides a certain degree of safety.
"No Proxy" connects directly to the Internet.
On Windows XP you probably need to use the "No proxy" setting.
