Details

(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+]) 

This problem started last week, after latest milestone release. Proxy 
configuration window doesn't work at all. Earlier it worked, though displayed 
everything with some mess, now it doesn't respond, only clicking TAB 2-3 times 
changes smth., but after that it stops responding. So now proxy settings could 
be entered only in prefs file using text editor.
Component: Build Config → Pref UI
reassigning to Don. catch.

Target Milestone: M14
Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component.  Pref UI 
component will be deleted.
Component: Pref UI → Preferences
Based on comments in some of the recent DUPs of bug 24304, "Preferences change 
function not registered as yet", FIXED, setting proxy parameters via prefs
has been working again for a while now. There was a bug against Pref UI for 
this issue in mid-Feb.
Testing against latest M14 release on Windows NT, proxy configuration saving 
only works after repeated entering of the information in the configuration 
dialog.
Now proxy setting in the Preference panel works but accessing Internet through a
proxy Mozilla ask me username and password to access the proxy each connection
it makes to download every thing.
This happens on NT and Linux.
Repeated username and password queries are a known issue: see 24329, "Make proxy 
auths persistent.", M14, FIXED 2000-03-07. iideg@tin.it, were you using M14
or current nightly binaries?

Move to M16 ...
Target Milestone: M14 → M16
mass re-assign of all bugs where i was listed as the qa contact

Trying to input the ip address for the http proxy server Causes Mozilla to crash
for me (Win32) on every nightly build since M15. Including 2000050412.
