Title: Firefox doesn't use the ignore list of the system-wide proxy config Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Environment : An internal network (say 192.168.0.*) with a proxy. (say 192.168.0.1). An internal web server that you can't access through the proxy, only with a direct connection (say 192.168.0.2). 1. In the Gnome panel, open System > Preferences > Proxy settings. 2. Configure the HTTP proxy as 192.168.0.1 (on my config, it's the same proxy for all protocols). In the "advanced configuration" tab, set 192.168.0.2 as an ignored host. 3. Open Epiphany browser : You can access the web through the proxy. You can also access 192.168.0.2 without problem. 4. Open Firefox and be sure that it's configured to use the system wide proxy. It can access the web (so proxy settings are working) but it cannot access 192.168.0.2. It tries to access it through the proxy. 5. Change Firefox settings to configure the proxy manually in Firefox. Add the proxy and add 192.168.0.2 as an exception. Check that now Firefox can access the web through the proxy and 192.168.0.2 without problem. Obvious conclusion : When set to use System wide proxy, Firefox doesn't use the ignore list. Excpected behaviour : When set to use System wide proxy, Firefox should behave like Epiphany and use the ignore list. *** Original bug report *** 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.
