I am trying to use manual proxy settings with Mozilla M12 running on Linux 2.2.9-19mdki86, but it does not appear to affect how the browser is accessing the web pages. My access via port 80 is restricted and everytime I try to load a page, I get the following error message: FindShortcut: in='www.cnn.com' out='null' Error: Can't load: http://www.cnn.com/ (80004005) failed to set the page title. Error loading URL http://www.cnn.com/ Document: Done (1.096 secs) But when I try to use the translate function within mozilla (which connects to port 8080) I am able to load in the web page. I have managed to load in other web pages as long as I do not go through port 80. I suspect that mozilla is not using the manual proxy settings.

Just to add some more info: I'm experiencing the same problem under Windows. There is another bug in bugzilla against the prefs.js file having proxy settings written properly, but they seem to be OK in M12: user_pref("network.proxy.ftp", "emeacache.uk.oracle.com"); user_pref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 80); user_pref("network.proxy.http", "emeacache.uk.oracle.com"); user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 80); user_pref("network.proxy.none", ""); user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1); However, access through the proxy doesn't work in Mozilla M12 and does work with exactly the same preferences in 4.x.
