Details

see Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Proxies, if you enter IP address 192.168.59.100 into field "HTTP Proxy", the address is taken correctly, BUT if you enter IP address 192.168.059.100, the address is taken wrong by mozilla. In this example, mozilla uses 192.168.49.100 (fourty nine) instead. Mozilla seems to sensitive to the leading zero.
Mmmh, this is no localization isue, moving to networking

The 0xx is being treated as octal, in all likelihood...

That's what I suspect as well. But it shouldn't, right? One could try to enter a proxy in octl format and see if that works :)
seems like. but it is not consistent. see my example. how could 059 be an octal value, where a nine as digit is not defined.
I don't know what that means in octal, but it's being cast into something, see bug 63117.
benio: please look at the bug I have designated and mark "VERIFIED/DUPE" if you agree it is the same problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 63117 ***

benno: if you are stil around, an you see if this problem still happens? I wasn not sure if you meant that mozilla saves a differen value than you provided, or if it keeps that value, but opens a connection to the wrong IP address.
