I confirm that using
- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3
- Firefox set on system proxy settings,
- Gnome set up to use a manually configured proxy
- Gnome's ignore hosts lists contains "localhost", "127.0.0.0/8", "*.local" (which are the default Gnome values)
- a local server on port portnb > 30000

Firefox fails to display Urls starting with "http://127.0.0.1:portnb/". It shows an error message from my proxy.
Firefox successfully displays Urls starting with "http://localhost:portnb/".

If I add "127.0.0.1" to the Gnome ignored host list, and refresh the Firefox tabs, it properly displays all the Urls above.

I also believe that by default the proxy should be ignored for local urls (either Firefox should understand 127.0.0.0/8, or Gnome should contain 127.0.0.1).

Thanks for your work.
