Today I tested Firefox 5.0 (for Windows), and the bug is still there.
This is the way I test it:
(1) Put proxy settings to "auto detect"
(2) Start a web search for "test"
(3) Click on 3..4 hits of the search engine, using the mid-mouse button.
Usually, I won't get to the 3rd click, because Firefox hangs then.
Even if you open the Settings dialog before loading is complete, this
dialog will hang for several seconds.
If you use explicit proxy settings (10.0.2.2:3128), there is no delay at all.
