1663952 - socks5 proxy stops working after a few seconds

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[avellanedaandres.08]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

Running on 5.8.5-arch1-1 , Mozilla Firefox 80.0.1 from core
Opened a dynamic ssh connection, tried with other ports and no compression and other combinations
ssh -D 1233 -C -q -N nebora
configure firefox network settings to use socks5 with localhost and port used in ssh
its not an ssh issue as I thought it may be after researching similar occurrences, installed chromium to test and it uses the proxy appropriately by running 'chromium --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1233" '

Actual results:

restart firefox
type 'my ip' quickly in google, result is nebora ip, thats the desired result
but typing it again in another tab or reloading the same one returns my local machine ip

Expected results:

it should always show the nebora ip
