Many networks at Universities and Companys make use of proxy autodetection in
MSIE. It should be the same in Firefox. Instead, users have to set it by
themseves, which is against "auto-detection" magic.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
look into Options->General->Connection settings

Actual Results:
"Direct connection to Internet" is set.

Expected Results:
Should be "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network".

This is very easy task to resolve, so I expect it could be introduced even to Fx
1.5 which aims to be corporate-ready.
