When I transfer from my work network (with a proxy server) to my home network (no server), I have to restart the browser before it realizes that there is no proxy server that it has to authenticate with. Until I do this, (re)loading pages gives me an error.

However, when going the other way, it smoothly recognises that there is a server, and no restart is required to continue browsing

I have automatic proxy settings enabled. I have tried selecting 'no proxy server', but I still need to restart firefox for this to work.

Please update to the current Firefox 22.0 release.

The Firefox 21 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.

  • It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.

hello, is this only affecting secure pages (starting with https://) and does it work when you press ctrl-shift-r after the change in order to reload the page?
