Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 125995

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051004 Firefox/1.4.1

I don't know from where Firefox gets automatic proxy configuration, but it looks
like that you need some special config file for it. However I think that it
should get it from system. In macosx preferences pane "network" you can specify
proxies configuration for various protocols. This is made for laptop users, so I
can use different network settings when I'm at school and at home - just one
click in apple menu->location and that's it. Should be working in firefox too.

Reproducible: Always

using the PAC file from the OS, is bug 125995

auto-detect is actually something else, see bug 28998
