282788 - Firefox tries to access internet pages via a VPN connection instead of using the internet connection

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[SchaOn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; yourDealer.local - MPLS Office; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When the computer is connected via a VPN, in IE, IE will first check the non-
VPN connect trying to connect to the site, then will check the VPN for the 
site. In Mozilla, it does not do this, it goes through the VPN first.

The reason I know this is b/c we are running an ISA server, and the sites are 
blocked via ISA in Mozilla, but not IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a VPN connection that has blocked websites
2. Try accessing an external website outside of the VPN network.
3.

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
