I changed the proxy preferences in System->Preferences-> Network Proxy and applied "Apply System-wide". But after the change Firefox and other browsers goes through the proxy but not certain applications which i use to connect to internet.(like Songbird and other applets). Need a solution for this.

You need to check in the apps whether the proxy settings are marked as "None", System Defaults, or Manual.

A lot of the apps have this default to None, which could be why they are not honouring the global settings you have applied.

You change your proxy settings system wide. There isn't anything else you can do, system-wide, to achieve what you want. If some applications don't honor the setting, your best bet is a bug report.
