Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox Proxy Ignore List: Ignores wilcard e.g https://*

Set Firefox manual proxy (or gnome proxy settings) and add Firefox Proxy ignore list to https://* Firefox ignores https://* wilcard.

For example: I use proxy, and i want to bypass proxy for https:// links. But Firefox not bypass proxy for https:// links. Simply load through proxy.

But google-chrome not ignores wilcard work good without problem. BTW not only Ubuntu version Firefox. Same as Windows 7 im confirm.

It seems that you can do what you're asking by using the port of HTTPS as in the example which is port 443. Please try that and let us know if that solves your issue.

Im look that. Yes i need wildcard but Firefox dosn't support wildcard.

The says: Formats that are not accepted Example

Domain filters with interior wildcards www.*.com
IP address string prefixes 127. or 10.0.*
IP addresses with wildcards in quads 10.*.*.*

optional - port-specific (optional) ":" + port number "<FILTER>:81" Only black-lists port. Only applies to one port (no support for ranges and/or multiple ports). Port-only filters ":80" or "*:80" are not supported. (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/No_Proxy_For_configuration)

I tried diffrent port wont work. As I explained above and in the example.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Sometimes Firefox profiles can become corrupt and/or extensions can conflict. Could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If this helps, you might want to try to disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one.

You can start the profile manager with the following command:
firefox -ProfileManager

But set Firefox manual proxy, uncheck this "Use this for all protocols"

set SSL proxy:127.0.0.1 port:0 than work only Firefox. Firefox bypass the proxy for https://* and direct connect to site.

This is not ignore list and not work in the gnome-proxy settings. Maybe just workaround for https:// protocol connections only Firefox.
