Details

1. In Tools->Options (or Edit->Preferences) set a HTTP proxy via manual
configuration. Use the same settings for all protocols.
2. Restart Firefox
3. Type in a URL, e.g. http://www.google.com . Google page loads normally.
4. In the same tab, type another URL, e.g. http://ftp.mozilla.org. ***The Google
page shows up again***, instead of the requested page.
5. Type an URL with a path, e.g. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/
. ***A Google "404 Not Found" error page shows***.
Setting network.http.proxy.version to "1.0" instead of "1.1" (in about:config)
makes it work correctly. 

This may be a problem with the proxy software not supporting HTTP/1.1. See also
bug 198931.

Shouldn't we should provide a GUI for specifying the HTTP version to use with a
proxy?

AnalogX Proxy, on Windows.
