1476997 - Don't turn on the http proxy by default for raptor

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Testing :: Raptor, defect)

Description

[Robert Wood [:rwood]]

I notice by default in the perf testing profile [1] it is turning on an http proxy:

user_pref("network.proxy.http", "localhost");
user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 80);
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);

Raptor doesn't need this http proxy so turn if off for by default for raptor. Raptor tp6 (and future gdocs) set their own proxy settings for mitmproxy. The other raptor tests (pageload) use localhost:xxxxxx which is a dynamic port set at runtime (and not a proxy).

Either this is a bad build, or we * do * need this proxy setting on by default in production for some reason...

Looks like we still need this setting for production on linux at least, not really sure why... but not worth breaking things!
