It's now found under the "Advanced" tab - Options>Tools>Advanced> settings - the connections button

From the FF support page

Configure Proxies to Access the Internet

Direct connection to the Internet
This is the default option. Choose this if you don't want to use a proxy.


Auto-detect proxy settings for this network
Choose this if you want Firefox to automatically detect the proxy settings for your network.


Manual proxy configuration
Choose this if you don't have a proxy location (URL). Ask your system administrator for the names and port numbers of the servers running proxy software for each network service and enter the information in the appropriate fields.


Automatic proxy configuration URL:
If there's a proxy configuration file at your workplace, ask the system administrator for its URL and enter it here. Press Reload to load the settings.
