957488 - Mozilla.cfg proxy settings do not work on first load.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Mitchell]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131205075310

Steps to reproduce:

Repackaged Local-settings.js, mozilla.cfg and override.ini for FF deployment into enterprise settings.

When I install the application it correctly applies networking information into the proxy settings, however when I attempt to access a webpage it is unsuccessful.

Closing FF then reopening shows a continuation of the issue. 

After significant amounts of trial and error I have found that simply openning the proxy configuration settings (e.g. tools>options>network>settings) then clicking the "OK" button allows Firefox to work successfully.

From that point on the application will continue to work with proxy settings configured.


Actual results:

Running the application does not allow connections to websites


Expected results:

Worked.

This issue is only occurring when I attempt to install to a new workstation. 

It appears that whenever a new local user profile is created the application fails to copy the settings into the user profile.

Closing this as incomplete due to inactivity and lack of response from the
reporter. Feel free to reopen the bug if the issue still reproduces on a
current build.
