i have no problem with firefox 17.0.1 and "use system proxy settings".

are proxy variables correctly setted?

in my case:
$ env | grep proxy
http_proxy=http://localhost:3128
https_proxy=http://localhost:3128

[root@localhost ~]# env | grep proxy
http_proxy=http://localhost:8118
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1

the pb occurs also for konqueror and rekonq but not for chromium and chrome !


i checked with drakproxy that all is good

where are this parameters (in what file ?)

there were some regression in 17.0 about proxy https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=804574

but are solved

so you can try with 17.0.1 tar.gz version from mozilla website

here "use system proxy settings" works fine in firefox, konqueror, rekonq and chrome.

i tried 17.0.1 from mozilla

there is pb using "system proxy settings"

what is strange is : konqueror 4.84 and rekonq 0.9.2 (kde 4.84) have same pb but not chromium 21.0

and chromium , konqueror, rekonq uses the same kde system proxy settings

note : the bug is about windows version

i fill another bug : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=824341

sorry, here works like a charm.

i can only notice that you are using a very tweaked 2010.2 with all MIB upgrades.

i'm in a more quite situation.

can you try firefox 17.0.1 on another linux box?
maybe pb depend from the kind of proxy. i'm using squid

ciao.

yes i also think konqueror and rekonq are not compliant with something

i had this pb with "rosa desktop fresh 2012"
then there will be an update but what one, then no more pb with firefox 17.0.1

i believe the update was about nss packages but i am not sure

me too, but, for kde browsers, you have to set system proxy variables in systemsetting-> net-> proxy
