Description

[Evan Carroll]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121622 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.5

socks_remote_dns does not work with Firefox's automagic system-proxy detection. You will have to hard code the socks5 proxy into Firefox's connection dialog to use socks_remote_dns.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up a sock5 proxy in gnome-network-preferences
2.Set Firefox to "Use System Proxy Settings" (Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings)
2.Set network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true
Actual Results:  
DNS is not tunneled through socks5.

Expected Results:  
DNS to be tunneled through socks5.

Tested and verified on Linux using gnome.

I cannot reproduce this and I think this has been fixed by bug 562289.
