Sure, but I assume Mozilla doesn't recognize the Lenovo adware, so if all the web traffic is being routed through this proxy, shouldn't firefox have squawked?
Mozilla has its own proxy settings as well, independent of Windows Control Panel configuration, so a Firefox user appears not to be impacted by the whole thing at all.
It's not clear to me. Just a few minutes ago (and after your post) this appeared on mozilla discussion forum given by [1] above (will come back to credit this- didn't copy and don't remember (and can't see!)).
When taking Firefox into use, it imports the OS proxy settings, though. You get a warning but I guess about 99 % of people don't care about what that means.
