Yes - ~/.hgrc is created by the user. You can just have the 2 lines
needed for proxy.

For sure firefox must be using http_proxy [otherwise it would be set
to 'no proxy'. But I'm not sure how you can find the settings. What
do you have for

env |grep -i proxy
env |grep -i http

Also what OS is this? If you are using gnome - there can be proxy
settings there. On my Fedora 12 box with Gnome - the settings can be
at:

'System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy'
