This bug is not a duplicate of bug #556293! As was stated above this is
to do with firefox's manner of using the gnome proxy settings. From what
I have seen Google Chrome and Firefox interpret the rules very
differently - one likes wildcards and the other likes the mask syntax.
We have been struggling for years with Ubuntu and proxy server support
and it is a huge issue prohibiting general use in the enterprise. I
think we need some new thinking:
If Ubuntu arrived out of the box with a squid proxy server setup in
transparent mode with a virtual nic then no applications would need to
know about proxy servers - that is how we fix it.
