1167679 - Firefox 38 times out when using a local Socks proxy

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1165286

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[marcelov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/43.0.2357.65 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0

Tried this with Oracle JRE 1.7.0_67 and 1.8.0_45:

Installed:

java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

Configure a localhost SOCKS v5 proxy:

Enable manual proxy configuration
Set the socks host: localhost Port: 1080 
Enable SOCKS v5 
Establish a ssh tunnel via a firewall/Jump server.  For example:  I configure a SSH tunnel via: 

ssh -f -N -D 1080 hostname.fw.jump.server.net




Actual results:

network: Connecting https://x.x.x.x:16311/ibm/console/webtop/classes/nova.jar with proxy=DIRECT
network: Connecting http://x.x.x.x:16311/ with proxy=DIRECT

Expected results:

Firefox 38 should use the SOCKS configuration to connect.  It does not appear to use it or ignores it.
