As far as I remember using FF on my corporate networks, I allways had a freeze when the host url does not exist.

Today, discovering that this problem was reported, I did the test.

My current version is Firefox/3.0.1 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1)

The corporate proxy is squid/2.5.STABLE14

Test 1: using autoproxy
- type an url in the adress bar to a non-existant host (e.g: http://surcouf.fr )
- press enter to load the page ==> freeze for a while

Test 2: using manual setting for proxy
- type an url in the adress bar to a non-existant host (e.g: http://surcouf.fr )
- press enter to load the page ==> no freeze
