1213639 - Firefox cannot use shadowsocks but Safari or Chrome can use it in MacOS

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[mango1220]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20150929144111

Steps to reproduce:

I cannot use Firefox to visit websites by using shadowsocks in MacOS. However I can use Safari or Chrome to visit these websites successfully. I find that the setting about network in Firefox is set to using the proxy setting of system. I try to choose other options but I find it doesn't work. So I want to know what should I do, or is this a bug actually?

Thanks for reporting. 
Shadowsocks works through a self hosted Server, needs some tricky configuration to make a browser connect through another client. Configuring Server and Client requires config files. Have you done anything like that. It may need different settings for Firefox unlike Chrome and Safari. Please check with Shodowsocks to work with. Moreover it
