[Bug 394208] [NEW] Firefox 3.5 - proxy settings are not acquired from system settings

[grofaty]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Using Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.04 proxy settings are not acquired from
system proxy settings.

1. System | Preferences | Manual proxy configuration where http proxy is set (also for other protocols)
2. Firefox 3.5 | Edit | Preferences | Advanced tab | Network subtab | Settings button
3. If "Use system proxy settings" is enabled then using Firefox 3.5 is unable to access internet web pages. But if proxy settings is set in the same window in Manual proxy configuration then Firefox 3.5 can access internet.

BTW, on the same system I have also installed Firefox 3.0 and Firefox
3.0 can access internet if "Use system proxy settings" is set. So it
looks like a bug in Firefox 3.5.
