Whenever I open up Firefox, it loads 211.112.180.120 as a proxy server through which I need to connect to the internet.

But I don't want this proxy so I click on Options>General>Connection Settings> then check the "Direct Connection to the Internet".

But when I close Firefox, and load it back up, it keeps using 211.112.180.120 and switches back to using it.

And 211.112.180.120 does not work! AHHHH!

Please help. weep

No, really, nobody loves you. shock

Can't you just reinstall it?

But then I have to download all the addons, fix my bookmarks and everything.

Did you manually enter the Proxy IP? if you did that might be the cause, just click the manual entry and remove anything in the boxes and click on direct connection then click on ok.

That's what I'm doing.

It comes back anyway though.

Your bookmarks can be saved to a file, I know that, there's probbaly a way to do it with your addons, too. Besides, it surely beats FF not working at all.

I suppose.

I'll go copy the folders and re-install then.

Re-Installed it.

Still same problem.

What Internet connection do you have? and do you have a router connected to your PC?

Im thinking your ISP must have Proxy enabled but thats like a longshot because hardly anyone uses that anymore unless they want to restrict what sites you can go to.

Try this then, go into you command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" and press enter, now check to see if it says "yes" for WINS PROXY ENABLED. If it is enabled and you dont have a router then your ISP uses proxy in which case you cant do anything.

I don't have a router and it is not enabled.

Did you install an proxy extension?

From Mozilla help webpage ----v

proxyResolveFailure

The proxy server can't be found
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server, but that proxy server cannot be found.

* Check the proxy settings in "Preferences" to make sure they are correct.
* Check to make sure you computer has a working network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Bloigen: save you bookmarks and extensions and reinstall Firefox. Maybe you have a buggy version or something.

My extensions are scattered around the place.

When I save the folder for them in the "Application Data" folder, the bug comes with.

It probably is one of your extensions doing it, then.

But I haven't downloaded a new extension in ages. This has only just started.

I think its a virus and/or spyware but I could be wrong because if you downloaded a proxy extension then that also could be the problem.

Does IE work?

It would be incredibly unlikely to get a firefox 'virus' that merely proxied you..

And it seems that 211.112.180.120:80 is a working proxy..

IE works fine.

Have you tried removing all extensions from the folder, and seeing if it works?

I am now.

Ok, I was getting used to clicking on Options and then don't use a proxy or whatever.

But now, everything is fine.

It just healed itself.
