retitle 455206 [retitled] foxyproxy: use internal iceweasel's proxy settings as
default
thanks
Hi Yann,
Thanks for reporting.
Recent upstream release 2.6.2 made foxyproxy disabled by default after
installation (I just uploaded it to debian archive), so it resolved the
issue of 455206 -- users will be able to access internet using internal
iceweasel's settings until they enable foxyproxy explicitely. But
I leave bug open as wishlist for foxyproxy to use iceweasel's settings as
the default. Unfortunately I think it is 'wontfix' since upstream (if I
got it right) is not going to use those in any sense, including as for
default settings of foxyproxy. See FAQ on foxyproxy's upstream page.
Also this 'disabled by default' behavior seems to resolve 455208 -
now I get into foxyproxy's settings as soon as I enable it. Please
double check and close the bug if you confirm such behavior (which imho
fixes the issue).
Cheers
Yarik
