Comment (by acat):
I created https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1636411, expecting
that it has good chances to be accepted and we can just flip
`networking.dns.disabled` to have the same protection as this patch. I
think the logic for proxy bypass protection when `networking.dns.disabled
= false` can be implemented later independently of that, but I assume that
will be not so easy to be accepted (or to get right).
But, unless I'm missing something, I don't think we really need to support
resolving DNS correctly if some user disables the SOCKS proxy and wants a
direct internet connection. That can only be done via `about:prefs`, so
that user would just need to edit one more pref to achieve that.
