(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[David McNamara]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: http://www.mackers.com/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040628 Firefox/0.9.1

A 4th proxy option should be added to 'Connection Settings'. As well as
Direct/Manual/Automatic, Firefox should support using OSX's Network Preference
Settings.

This allows users to change "Location" and quickly have proxy settings change
updated.

This bug has already been filed for the 'Browser' product. I'm entering it in
the FireFox product so it isn't forgotten about for FireFox 1.0. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter 'Preferences'
2. Click 'General'
3. Click 'Connection Settings'

Actual Results:  
Missing option to use 'Network Prefence'.

Expected Results:  
An option should be present to use the system proxy.

This _probably_ depends on bug 125995.
