[Bug 248863] Re: network.proxy.socks_remote_dns ignored with system-wide proxy

[Katie]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  When I have Firefox configured to "Use system proxy settings", I've
  specified a SOCKS host in my system's Network Proxy Preferences, and I
  have Firefox's "network.proxy.socks_remote_dns" preference set to
  "true", Firefox does not use the SOCKS host to perform DNS queries.  I
  expect it to use the SOCKS host to perform DNS queries in this
  situation.
  
  If I specify the SOCKS host in Firefox's "Manual Proxy Configuration"
  instead of having it "Use system proxy settings", DNS queries are
  performed via the SOCKS host as expected.  Conversely, in the situation
  described in the previous paragraph, Firefox makes non-DNS requests via
  the SOCKS host, as expected, demonstrating that it does recognize the
  system-wide proxy settings to some extent.
  
  I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1 with Firefox 3.0.
  
+ In case it's relevant, the SOCKS server I'm using is just a local
+ invocation of ssh -D.
+ 
+ $ ssh -V
+ OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
