** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 When I have Firefox configured to "Use system proxy settings", I've specified a SOCKS host in my system's Network Proxy Preferences, and I have Firefox's "network.proxy.socks_remote_dns" preference set to "true", Firefox does not use the SOCKS host to perform DNS queries. I expect it to use the SOCKS host to perform DNS queries in this situation. If I specify the SOCKS host in Firefox's "Manual Proxy Configuration" instead of having it "Use system proxy settings", DNS queries are performed via the SOCKS host as expected. Conversely, in the situation described in the previous paragraph, Firefox makes non-DNS requests via the SOCKS host, as expected, demonstrating that it does recognize the system-wide proxy settings to some extent. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1 with Firefox 3.0. + In case it's relevant, the SOCKS server I'm using is just a local + invocation of ssh -D. + + $ ssh -V + OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 + + ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Jul 15 20:09:32 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 Package: firefox-3.0 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: firefox-3.0 Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686
