Using tcpflow -i any, I have determined that
$ firefox URL #also called iceweasel on Debian
ignores foxyproxy, connecting straight to the Internet (ran out the
door without its chastity belt!)
If one does not want firefox to sneak around foxyproxy's back, one
must first start firefox with no URL argument, then one can safely
give URLs from the command line (or URL entry box inside firefox):
$ firefox & sleep 11; firefox URL
(I suspect that firefox will still occasionally get its own personal
favorite URLs ("call home for updates" or whatever) behind our backs
anyway. Probably need to enforce the proxy right there on port 80...)
