260655 - When I restart system the Manual proxy settings are lost. Mozilla always reverts to directly connected.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[guruski69]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

I use a web accelerator that uses the localhost as a proxy. I manually configure
the proxy in preferences. Everything works fine. I shutdown system then restart,
log on to web and the proxy preferences are always reset to directly connected
to internet instead of the manual localhost proxy I had set. How in the world
can I get Mozilla to save my proxy preferences!!!!1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set manual proxy to "localhost" and a port say 5400.
2. reboot system and check preferences again.
3. Proxy settings have disappeared and the setting is back to directly connect
to internet.

Actual Results:  
localhost proxy no longer available, causing inability to use the web
accelerator until I manually go in and set proxy again. Should not have to do
this every time I start the PC.

Expected Results:  
Save the manual proxy settings permanently until I change them myself!!!!
