For non-MS browsers you can often still use WPAD (Firefox on Linux for example can do that still). You can also get a modified version of Firefox (made by FrontMotion) that supports GPO for certain settings.

The only real trouble with WPAD is that it has never been formally standardised.
 Microsoft products use only the 'obsolete' DHCP methods of WPAD.
Linux/Mac/*BSD products use the easier but non-official DNS methods of WPAD.

So you need to configure both methods for it to work properly on the network for all clients.
