[Bug 956961] [NEW] Firefox 11.04.1 does not use the gnome-proxy-settings

[Ralph Holzer]

Public bug reported:

Since the automatic upgrade from 10.0.2,to 10.04.1 Firefox ignores the gnome-proxy-settings and so could not find the way to the Internet.
When I set the proxy-settings manual it works. It also works with the Chrome-Browser. Websites inside our network work.

You could reproduce it by:
Set the system wide proxy-settings in gnome.
Change your proxy-settings in firefox: Edit > Preferences > Network > Settings > "Use system proxy settings"
Only internal websites works with this configuration...
To get them working you have to set the settings manual in:  Edit > Preferences > Network > Settings > "Manual proxy configuration"

Description:    Ubuntu 11.04 Release:   11.04
