Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. the user is behind a proxy. 1. consider that I have kept http://abc as DO NOT user proxy. 2. now I enter http://xyz - which is another intranet site. Actual Results: FF says site not found. IE works fine in this case. Expected Results: FF should automatically browse to the intranet site, just like IE.

In IE consider that http://abc is given in bypass proxy. Now I enter http://abc and its seen. This abc site will have some link called http://def When I click http://def link, the url either opens in new window or the same window, or the frame in main http://abc (this is as per how the site is programmed.) Thus IR check the original site which has referred to http://def - which in the above example is http://abc. Since abc is already present in bypass proxy, http://def is also temperory kept as bypass proxy. FF should use same technique.
