--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <[email protected]> ---
It sounds like you want non-blocking DNS requests in the SOCKS proxy
code. This would be great to have, but unfortunately there is no
cross-platform libc API we can rely on to do this and we're generally
loath to pick up additional libraries except when strictly necessary.

Another possibility is implementing asynchronous DNS resolution via a
forked subprocess, which is portable but would complicate the channels
code fairly significantly.

You could probably avoid this by disabling the "Proxy DNS when using
SOCKS5" setting in firefox.
