When using proxy.pac, often the connection does not work. I get a "Could not
connect" error. When reloading the page, everything is fine.

This bug has been in Mozilla for ages :(

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set-up a proxy connection via proxy.pac
2. Open Outlook Express (sic!)
3. Close Mozilla
4. Click on a link in an email

Actual Results:  
Could not connect error message

Expected Results:  
Open the page
If you download your pac to disk and use a file URL, does the problem go away?
Summary: when using proxy.pac, often the connection does not work → PAC: often the connection does not work
I now run Firefox 0.8 and I feel that the problem has gone away... anyone else
experienced something?
Seems to be fixed in FB 0.8
