Please implement a facility such that mozilla drops to 'direct connection' proxy
configuration on failure of the proxy preference settings.

This facility would be useful to me because I frequently move from a proxy
network to a direct connection network, and such a feature would mean I would
not need to reconfigure the preferences.
