Make Firefox automagically pick up default internet proxy?

Make Firefox automagically pick up default internet proxy? At work, I need to connect to a customer network via VPN at times, and doing so, I need to set a proxy. While IE picks that up automatically (the standard "default internet proxy"), Firefox doesn't, which is a pain.

Firefox used to have the add-on Quickproxy, but it's not ready for 3.5 yet...

If you set your proxy settings to "auto-detect settings for this network", this should work on firefox too. You need to have the ip assigned by dhcp for this to work.
