789886 - Firefox in "use system proxy settings" configuration does not check ProxyEnable from registry

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

I have Firefox 15.0.1 and IE 6.0.
Firefox is in "Use system proxy settings" configuration.
Sometimes I use proxy. But when I disable proxy in IE, Firefox still download through proxy.
Seems he does not check parameter ProxyEnable in "HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" .
IE does not erase parameters "ProxyServer" in the same branch of registry and Firefox still use it.

Found Firefox 14 and 15.
tested :
1) change proxy in IE. Firefox sees the change and is working correctly.
2) change proxy directly in registry. Same effect - Firefox working correctly.

But - difference between 2012 and 2016 :
2012 - Windows XP SP2 and IE 6
2016 - Windows XP SP3 and IE 8
Maybe these changes affected the result.
