Firefox 3.0.1 update ignores automatic proxy settings in options/network/connection settings.  Note that the settings were picked up from version 3.0 correctly.  I have tested in IE with the same settings and it works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start broswer app
2.navigate to google
3.cannot connect (Netweork Timeout)
