Hi hlhunt08,

  • Type about:preferences into your address bar.
  • Navigate to the bottom of the General tab and click on Network Settings.
  • Under Configure Proxy Access to the Internet, click on the circle next to the Use System Proxy Settings option to enable it.
  • Click OK at the bottom of the network settings window to confirm your settings.

Now check to see if FPN is working and let me know!
