Not able to browse websites due to proxy settings

As per the instructions provided, the proxy settings of the Burp Suite 127.0.0.1:8080 shall be configured in the browser as well. I am using Firefox and did the changes under the network tab using the settings sub-tab. Now when I am trying to access any website I am not able to do so as my proxy settings have changed. To accommodate this I go burp suite's user option and make entry into the upstream proxy server providing details of my proxy server so that Burp suite forward any request from my browser to the proxy server, however, this isn't working the way expected. Can you please point me to the correct solution on how to intercept traffic when the host is sitting behind a proxy/firewall.
