      3. Select the Network tab.
      4. In the Connection section, click Settings....
      5. Change your proxy settings:
        • If you don't connect to the Internet through a proxy (or don't know whether you connect through a proxy), select No Proxy.
        • If you connect to the Internet through a proxy, compare Firefox's settings to another browser's (Such as Internet Explorer. See Microsoft's guide to proxy settings).
      6. Close the Connection Settings window.
      7. Click OK to close the Options window.
