Title:
System proxy settings doesn't work in Firefox when URL is a numeric IP
address
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
Firefox 12.0
I use a proxy to Internet navigation.
Step to reproduce bug:
1. Configure proxy values in Ubuntu (Network sytem settings). Manual method
2. Configure proxy in Firefox > Use system proxy settings
3. Type URL > www.google.es > Web page works
4. Type numeric URL > 173.194.41.223 (www.google.es) > loading........
Connection timeout!
Notes.
Reading similiar bug #1194841 > Idea!!
remove /usr/lib/firefox/components/libmozgnome.so
Then all is OK and numeric URL works
Conclusion
In my view, a problem exist between Firefox and Gnome. Firefox doesn't
obtain correctly proxy values from gnome when a numeric URL is typed
