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. ===== apt-cache policy firefox-3.5 info: ====== firefox-3.5: Installed: 3.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~fta1~jaunty Candidate: 3.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~fta1~jaunty Version table: *** 3.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~fta1~jaunty 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.5~b4~hg20090330r24021+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://hr.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages =================================== ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: proxy -- Firefox 3.5 - proxy settings are not acquired from system settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394208 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
