If I start firefox on network A, the automatic proxy configuration loads the proxy settings correctly, and I am able to browse. If I then move the computer to network B, on which the auto proxy config server will return a different proxy server, I am not able to browse, as the proxy is not found. (I get "The host X is taking to long to respond"). Pressing the Reload button under Tools - Options - Advanced - Network - Connection [Settings] does not reload the proxy configuration. I have to restart firefox for the new proxy settings to work.

An additional request to the above bug would be to have Firefox automatically reload the proxy on network change (as for instance IE does).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define 2 networks
2. Set automatic proxy URL to URL that returns "direct" on network A and "w.x.y.z" on network B.
3. Start firefox on network A to load proxy "direct"
4. Move computer to network B and try to reload proxy settings
Actual Results:
All browsing returns either

"Site X takes to long to respond" (if I have the "direct" settings loaded on the proxy-requiring network)

OR

"Firefox is set to use a proxy that does not exist" if I started firefox on net with proxy and then moved to a non-proxy network.

Expected Results:
Preferrably: Automatically reloaded the proxy information.
At least: Reloaded the proxy settings upon manually hitting the "Automatic proxy configuration URL" reload button.
