Anyone here running FF on Windows could run a test for me?

@allquixotic Does FF uses the proxy settings from "Internet Options"? Last time I checked, in FF v4 (IIRC) it just ignored it.
I was trying to contribute here superuser.com/questions/647282/… (see my comment on the question)

@ThatBrazilianGuy it can, but it can also use its own proxy settings... is the question about FF out of the box?

@allquixotic The question is unspecified, so I'd assume default, out-of-the-box behaviour unless stated otherwise (and as a way of confirming with the probable settings of a wider audience).
Also, I was totally unaware FF was even able to use the Windows proxy settings

@ThatBrazilianGuy I have FoxyProxy installed (always) and that overrides the default proxy settings panel :/

Is that (using Windows proxxy settings) something "new" (as of, later than FF v4)?
I always thought "Hm, Chrome and IE uses windows proxy settings, FF uses its own, that's a fact, period".

that's with Firefox 23 -- I don't know when exactly it came out, but I do remember Firefox 3.x didn't have that feature
