I always have to go Firefox>Option>Network>Settings>Select Auto-Detect Proxy Every time I open firefox.

I read the "Preferences Not Saved" Help but I don't have a User file in my Containing Folder, so I couldn't change that.

Deleted my prefs.js files, but when it automatically made a new one it was still stuck on "Manual Proxy Settings" which leads to the "Proxy server is refusing connections" error.

Any new ideas? Please?

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).
