I can't access the manual config for proxies, and the autoconfig isn't working, Mozilla always tries to get the url directly without passing by the proxy. Given how my ISP works (proxy only) it makes it impossible to further test the browser with webpages...

Target Milestone: M10
They don't in Necko either. And we have to add that support. Deferring till
Necko lands and we work out the preferences issues.

Checked in. (no autoconfig as yet)
Could someone tell me how I can enable proxy support in the current build? Do I
have to wait for autoconfig to support a --enable-proxy option, or is there
another way? This is blocking me from testing some of my bugs. Thanks.
Adding info that Mark Lin found on his own, so that others who need the
functionality from this bug can use it as well: to turn on proxy support, append
the following two lines to your .netscape/mozProfile/prefs.js file:

user_pref("network.proxy.http", "myProxyHost.myCompany.com");
user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
I verified this on Mac/Linux/Windows. This will make a lot of people happy.
Eventually we will have to respect the http.proxy.type pref also.
Bulk move of all Necko (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking

component.
