[Bug 204616] [NEW] Network proxy with FireFox

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Firefox 3.0b4 has problem with system network proxy configuration - cannot recognize addresses from "Ignore Host list" in "Network Proxy" configuration - although I don't know if this is problem of Firefox or Ubutnu or both.
1. System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy -> Manual proxy configuration is set and in "Advanced Configuration" - 192.168.70.128 is added to "Ignore Host list"
2. in Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection Settings -> "Use system proxy settings" is selected

When I type 192.168.70.128 in Location/Address bar and I hit enter, Firefox ask me about my proxy user and password. In my opinion it should take me to that address (192.168.70.128) without asking for proxy user and password, because it is in "Ignore Host list".
If I switch configuration in Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> "Connection Settings"  to "Manual proxy configuration" and add proxy address to "HTTP Proxy" and add 192.168.70.128 to "No proxy for" list - everithing is ok - Firefox does not ask for proxy user and password and load the page from 192.168.70.128.

Version of Ubuntu is 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008
I have used ubuntu-8.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso livecd without installing it to hard disk.
