Selenium Webdriver - How to set proxy to “auto-detect” for Firefox

Question

My scripts are running fine on chrome and IE but won\'t start on firefox due to firefox having \"manual\" set for its proxy settings. How can I set this to \"auto-detect\"?<

Thanks for your help AJ.

I used the following code to solve my problem:

FirefoxBinary binary = new FirefoxBinary("C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile("C:\\test profile\\");          driver = new FirefoxDriver(binary, profile);

I simply copied the contents of my Mozilla profile to "c:\test profile\". This allowed me to run the test via Selenium but also keep other firefox instances open.
