It gave me this: 140.113.88.165 and 8080 as the port. I have to change it to Auto detect everytime i restart Firefox because the settings keep going back to the same HTTP (140.113.88.165). Reproducible: Always
Most likely this is a problem with the application HideIP Platinum, which places a file (user.js) in your profile (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile). If you remove this file, then the problem will go away. Please report back.
Thanks! It works now.
Resolving this INVALID then, since an external app causes the problem.
