User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0 Build ID: 20171118220429 Steps to reproduce: 1. Set macOS system proxy to www-proxy:8080 2. Set Firefox to inherit system proxy 3. Use Trickle ICE demo (https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/trickle-ice/) with a TURN server (e.g. turn:myturn:3478?transport=tcp) Actual results: Firefox tries to connect directly to TURN server, instead of through the HTTP proxy that we've defined in system settings. Expected results: Firefox should connect to the HTTP proxy to establish its TURN connection. Behaviour should be identical to manually setting HTTP proxy settings in Firefox's preferences.

Jamie do you know if it works if the proxy is configured directly in the Firefox proxy settings and not inherited from the OS?

Yes. The issue goes away when I use Firefox's "Manual proxy configuration" (and copy exactly the proxy settings from Preferences.app, but having them exact is not in itself a requirement for the bug), and returns when I re-select the "Use system proxy settings" option. (Apologies, I thought I'd implied this in my initial report!)

Turns out we need to implement additional logic to support proxy auto config.

(In reply to Nils Ohlmeier [:drno] from comment #3) > Turns out we need to implement additional logic to support proxy auto config. Bug 1471700 says this is a regression and it used to work in 52esr.
I think Bug 1471700 is a different issue. When I switch to Firefox's "Manual proxy configuration" using the same proxy server, Firefox still does not use that proxy server for TURN.
Depends on: 1569183

This is probably fixed now that bug 1569183 has landed, but I need to verify.

Yeah, this seems to be working now.
