Removing firefox proxy settings does not work until a restart?
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.

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?
