How to update the proxy settings without rebooting Firefox? I have a .pac file with a proxy configuration. When I modifie this .pac, I would like that Firefox update the settings to consider the new .pac content.

You can do that with the Prefbar extension and the Reload PAC button.

Is there a way to configure Firefox so that the browser checks the pac file every time it makes a request? I know this will impose more load. But I want to use a pac file that will change many times throughout the day and I can't expect my users to know to hit a particular update button no matter how easy and accessible it is.
