STR

1. Create new profile
2. Set in about:preferences -> “Manual proxy configuration” some SOCKS5 proxy (127.0.0.1:9050 for example)
3. Set about:config -> network.http.speculative-parallel-limit; 0 and network.dns.disablePrefetch; true
4. Open any site (not loaded before)

We should have a test for this.
It seems we could use the socks5 nodejs library for this test https://github.com/lqqyt2423/node-socks5-server
I think I would prefer us not to vendor the library, but instead have a similar approach to the devtools testing framework
Future enhancements might also apply to H3 with nodejs
