[SOLVED] Proxy settings don't work

Hi there

I hope I don't bother you with a topic that already came up that way.
While I was installing Arch Linux I had to use the proxy of our company, which worked for me.
After the installation I noticed that I had to reenter the command "export http_proxy='url_to_proxy'" again and again, but for pacman, it was working.
Not so for firefox, and after trying and working on it it doesn't work anywhere now.

Any idea?
With the command "export | grep -i http" I get the following lines:
declare -x ftp_proxy=url_to_proxy
declare -x http_proxy=url_to_proxy

I also put this into /etc/environment, which didn't help.

Hope you can help me.

Greetings
Kielo

EDIT//
I figured it out now..
1.) Write into /etc/profiles tthe following lines:
export HTTP_PROXY=url_to_proxy:port
export HTTPS_PROXY=url_to_proxy:port
export FTP_PROXY=url_to_proxy:port

2.) Go to System > Preferences > Network Proxy > "Manual Proxy Configuration"; Then (for me) check "Use the same proxy for all protocols"
