Everytime I load Firefox I have to manually change my settings to "No Proxy" ever since I updated to the newest version of Firefox. How do I fix this?

Recently I updated to the newest version of Firefox and ever since I have, Firefox loads and says, "The proxy server is refusing connections."

Whenever I go to chose "No Proxy" the settings are always this:

HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1 Port: 50424

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
