during use of the internet, connection was frequently interrupted and the statement "The proxy server is refusing connection' appeared. Have to restart computer to get back connection. Have tried to reset connection setting to no proxy but setting will not stay. Still with frequent reversal to manual proxy config. It also happens reversal to manuel config.) every time I turn off computer and restart. Restarting computer works for a while and the interruption appears. How can I make the new setting of No Proxy stayed without automatically switched to Manuel config.?

There are a couple of work arounds given in the link below:

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/768919#answer-123402

The first option worked for me wherein I had to edit the file: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profilename>.default\users.js

Had to edit the first line of the file from: user_pref("network.proxy.type",1); To user_pref("network.proxy.type",0);

and things started to work fine.
