That was the one I did not think of (I think up to now it was always 'disable' by default.

Strangely, I am NOT able to change it using the GUI (by going to edit preferences connection, I just get an error.

 

I changed it in about:config (network.proxy.type = 0. There must also be the problem: It was set to 5 (accepted as default), which does not even represent a valid value. proxy.type should take a value from 0 to 4 (the error in GUI also shows something about a value of 5).

 

Anyhow, I changed it to 0 and FF is lightning fast now. (hmm. that would better fit on thunderbird :-) )

 

Regards and thanks for your tips!
