Proxy autoconfig is post-beta.

*** Bug 25559 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I am surprised that AutoProxy is slated as post-beta work. I have one customer 
who is waiting to use Mozilla but can't until AutoProxy is in. AutoProxy is 
somewhat of a misleading name. It doesn't just set up the proxies automatically. 
It provides proxy capabilities way beyond that which can be configured 
"manually". For some customers, they simply can not use a browser if it doesn't 
have autoproxy. Its a shame to exclude this set of users from the beta release.

Just another data point....
dito for me. i cant deploy it for beta in the company i work for in IS.
these were aprox. 50-60 users, both windows and linux (or digitalunix)
