Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time of
the original report and your problem may have been fixed with some of
the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu
development version (10.10). If you can test it, and it is still an
issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running
apport-collect 84242, and any other logs that are relevant for this
particular issue.

[Ben Schutz]

To reproduce bug:
1. Add proxy to Firefox conntections. 
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network. 
- Click Settings under Connections. 
- Select Manual proxy configuration and enter valid proxy details to use 
for HTTP.
- Apply settings.
2. Enter a search term in Firefox's address bar, e.g. "query", and press enter. 

What happens in this situation is Firefox attempts to reach
"http://query/";, which of course is non existent.

What should happen normally is "query" is searched with Google.

[Rolf Leggewie]

we are lacking information that would help us in pinpointing the
problem.  Furthermore, the report is against a very old version of
Firefox in a release that is no longer supported.  I am closing this
report.  Feel free to reopen this tracker or open a new one with the
requested information if you can still reproduce this.

I just verified this on firefox (2.0.0.3+1-0ubuntu2) and the behaviour
is the same, using a clean profile with and without safe mode.

In a clean profile type "query" into the address bar, you will be
redirected to 

Now go to the proxy settings, and setup a proxy for HTTP and repeat. You
are sent to 

I have used both Squid and Tinyproxy to test this, Tinyproxy log appears
to show that Firefox doesn't even talk to google:

Yeah, all www traffic leaving that is not sent by the web proxy is
rejected.
