Hi,

I tried to reproduce the issue with Sony Xperia Z5, Android (7.0.0) on Firefox Nightly 68.0a1 (2019-05-17) with add-on FoxyPAC, but I do not think that my configuration is ok.

It would have helped to have the user's configuration. Whether the pac file has been created through android settings/wi-fi/advanced option or through an add-on and the device and firmware.

I will keep an eye on this issue in my daily work, and try further more on a different device and firmware and give more details with what I encounter.

Thanks,
Diana

Triaging as P3. Unable to reproduce without the necessary configuration.
