I have installed Fiddler software but it seems it changes proxy server settings beside tracking all browser activity due to statistics.

When I uninstalled Fiddler I noticed error in Mozilla as all browsing was refused: The proxy server is refusing connections

Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. 

   Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
   Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.

I have seen that login as another user will work but the same settings will not work under user where is installed Fiddler.

There is AUTO detecting proxy and use a proxy server.

How to manage that it will be set use a proxy server but solve browsing when I uninstall Fiddler? Is there some Windows 8 configuration as Mozilla is hit by Fiddler.

hello, please check in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings... that firefox is set up to directly connect to the internet ('no proxy').

Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can

Note that "Use the system proxy settings" is the default for the connection setting.

Hi, I have checked previous posts. I understand it is default Use proxy system and I can use NO proxy. It is an issue that software hits Mozilla settings for the user as Use proxy system and browsing will not work anymore. Fiddler should warn users that even if you use uninstall it will not bring back settings.

This is time consuming as Mozilla is not responsible.

Is there system data inside Windows 8 to bring back working Use proxy system in Mozilla for user where is installed Fiddler? I like to use default due to security.

Thanks. I have checked this WIN+C > Settings I see I have to disable Us of Proxy Server. But I see http=127.0.0.1:8888;https=127.0.0.1:8888 if I enable Use of Proxy Server. Is this possible to avoid as http=127.0.0.1:8888;https=127.0.0.1:8888 still exists.

What proxy server is actually correct as this is Telerik setting... http://fiddlerbook.com/fiddler/help/hookup.asp
