Browser Network Settings - Firefox and IE

I have 2 browsers installed
IE has proxy settings
Firefox does not

Every time I run a profile it seems my FF network settings inherit the proxy settings of IE.

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

I use the 2 browsers in different ways and really don't want Firefox changing at all.

Re: Browser Network Settings - Firefox and IE

You can select which browser settings shall be affected by de-/activating the checkbox in front of Internet Explorer and your Firefox profile in the browser window. If you check IE but not FF only IE settings will be changed. However don't forget also to check the check mark in the main window besides "Browser".

You should also know that the Internet Explorer shares its proxy settings with Windows. That means lots of programs will use that settings for their connection. However FF shouldn't do so. It should be set to "Direct connection / No proxy".
