Still valid in Ubuntu 16.04.1

How to reproduce (set some invalid host and port

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'manual'
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http host 'nonexistinghost'
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http port 9999
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none'

Expected outcome: FF will not use any proxy and any website will be normally accessible.
Actual outcome: Visiting any page result in: The proxy server is refusing connections
