3)
Gnome Network Proxy has different settings for HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS proxies.
And Firefox proxy settings are set to use System proxy settings.
While browsing, Firefox must use HTTP/HTTPS proxy.
4)
Firefox actually uses SOCKS proxy, instead of HTTP/HTTPS.
NB... If using those proxy settings in Firefox itself, it uses HTTP/HTTPS...
I guess, it must use HTTP also from System settings as well...
