The bug affect me, too (I noticed a serious slow-down of browsing, after the upgrade). By going on " Firefox > Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Settings > Configure Proxies", i noticed that when I set "auto-detect proxy", everything works ok, while when I set "use system proxy settings", the settings of the manual proxy configurations are used (although I can't edit them, I have to choose manual configuration to be able to do that).

A workaround is to choose auto-detection of proxy. Another workaround (at least for me), is to choose manual proxy configuration, clean proxy fields, and set back to "use system proxy settings".

So, user who never used proxy before should not be affected by this bug; but user who used a proxy at least once, and then set back configuration to "system proxy settings", after this upgrade will have the proxy enabled again (if the proxy, meanwhile, has been shut down, browsing the web will become impossible)
