When I bring up Firefox it asks me to make sure the Proxy Settings are correct. What are the proxy settings?

When I double click on the Mozilla Firefox icon to open it up an error message comes up and says "The Proxy Server is refusing connections" Check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.

Please help me with this. Thank you
