Setting up proxy at Firefox do not have effects at console, which means your wget, ssh, apt-get, yum etc do not access through the proxy you set at Firfox browser. To setup http proxy at console, you can do as bellow, assume the proxy IP is 219.93.2.113 and port 3128.

export http_proxy='http://219.93.2.113:3128/'

Remember, you have to specified http://, and to know more about export, check out HERE.

To clear your http proxy and use back yours, do this:

export http_proxy=''

    hi
    you can put the line in /etc/environment
    or
    you can add same line into your .bashrc, in your home directory
