Quick Mozilla proxy settings

I use my laptop at at least two locations each day with various network connectivity. At home I have a direct connection to the Internet and at the university I use a proxy server in order to surf the web. Thus each and every time I move my laptop, I need to change proxy settings.
A long time ago I got tired of it and tried to set-up automatic proxy detection using a proxy.pac file - but failed. To night I finally found a workable solution - by accident of course.
Right clicking on the connection icon in mozilla (in the lower right corner next to the lock) will bring up a 3 item context menu allowing the user to quickly change between none, manual and automatic proxy. This just made my day.
