Why does firefox always "default" to a proxy server after the latest PC version update?
ever since i got the latest Firefox update yesterday, everytime i close and open Firefox, it defaults to a proxy server, i then have to go and change it to no proxy.
fyi i have not used any proxy server before, have not set any proxy server address in Firefox or ANY other browser i use. It was working PERFECTLY before this update.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

i tried to delete the clauses about the proxy, and SAVED, and when i exited notepad and went back in, it is as i saved it, BUT when i open Firefox again, the clauses are re-added in...
so i tried safe mode and it didn't work as well
i uninstalled and reinstalled
didn't work as well...
HELP
Did you try to (re)move all prefs.js files and also check for the presence of a file user.js?
there is no user.js file
i deleted all clauses in pref file and firefox is back to default mode, like when you first use it, no preferences
EXCEPT THAT BLOODY PROXY
