Could be related to (or a duplicate of) several bugs: Core bug 272044, Core bug
100022, Core bug 90308 and/or Firefox bug 251301?

Yes these do sound somewhat similar, however we only use a URL for our PAC 
file as it changes frequently, thus being able to go to a local file will not 
provide a solution -- 
This is a basic requirement for any Browser and clearly needs to be fixed for 
Mosilla if it is to be taken seriously.
