I can reproduce the problem here on Intrepid with firefox 3.0.4.

Wild cards in hostname works correctly so:

*.mycompany.com in gnome proxy settings allows me to access server.mycompany.com directly (not hitting the proxy server)

but:

10.0.0.0/8 in gnome proxy settings is not imported correctly so trying to access 10.0.0.2 still tries to use the proxy, even though the same setting locally in firefox works correctly.

Additionally, authentication details entered in the gnome proxy settings applet are not honoured by firefox which still asks for authentication.
