This is caused by add-on "autoproxy". Even it is not turns on, and set proxy by hand from preference manu of firefox. The proxy does not work. Remove this add-on, thing become normal.
Looks like the last time "autoproxy" was updated was in 2013. I have to imagine something it uses has broken since then. A quick search on AMO shows an extension called "autoproxy-ng" that is more recent. Quanlin, I suggest you try using autoproxy-ng to see if that works as expected.

Yes, It is "Autoproxy" that goes wrong. Disabling or removing it brings things to normal.
