Extremely noob proxy server question

So I set up windows to use a proxy server through Internet Options --> Connections --> LAN Settings.

I found a server from the US Proxy List website.

I also set up FireFox to use the same proxy server from Options --> Advanced --> Network Settings.

I assume this is all I needed to do? If I want to turn the proxy server off do I have to disable from both firefox and windows? Can I disable through just one?

Sorry if it's a stupid question or doesn't make any sense.

Thanks
 
Solution
Some browsers use the system settings and other use the setting in the browser. Some use both...with the ones in the browser over riding.

Firefox I think ignores the ones you set in the lan settings
