[edit] BackgroundTo retrieve data, Mozilla can be configured to route its requests through another server. Users may choose to use the host OS’s proxy settings (under Linux), to use a specific automatic proxy configuration file, to automatically detect the network’s proxy settings, or manually configure their proxy settings. This preference controls what kind of proxy to use. [edit] Possible values and their effects[edit] 0Direct connection, no proxy.
