The proxy settings (network.proxy.*) are not respected by some Web APIs. It is currently very complicated to set a proxy by manually messing with prefs in the gaia profile. But it's also overly complicated because some APIs just do not respect these prefs. Let's make sure there is a way to effectively proxy a Firefox OS device. This is a tracking bug. The implementation of the proxying shall happen in bugs that block this bug

For tracking purposes - a Firefox OS user is asking about Proxy settings in SUMO: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/987516
Is there anybody working on proxy-related stuff ATM?

There is not. And I'm afraid it's likely that there are some further issues besides the one tracked within this meta bug. One would have to do some additional testing and verification.

This impacts game developers that need to use proxies for COPPA verification. The proxy logs is used as proof that no private data is shared on the network. When some APIs don't use the proxy, there is no way to really confirm.
