Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When I have Firefox configured to "Use system proxy settings", I've specified a SOCKS host in my system's Network Proxy Preferences, and I have Firefox's "network.
If I specify the SOCKS host in Firefox's "Manual Proxy Configuration" instead of having it "Use system proxy settings", DNS queries are performed via the SOCKS host as expected. Conversely, in the situation described in the previous paragraph, Firefox makes non-DNS requests via the SOCKS host, as expected, demonstrating that it does recognize the system-wide proxy settings to some extent.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1 with Firefox 3.0.
In case it's relevant, the SOCKS server I'm using is just a local invocation of ssh -D.
$ ssh -V

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
