The problem is in Firefox. I didn't even realise Firefox supported this feature, I've used polipo for so long. The KDE browser Konqueror manages to do it when using polipo. Presumably it picks up on the distinct error code (504) that polipo returns for "host not found". Since you're interested, perhaps you could file a bug against Firefox. Thanks!
