Firefox and Thunderbird not using proxy system settings in oneiric

Asked by Gustavo Berman

I set-up the proxy config via system-configuration->network->proxy
But if I leave the option "use system settings" in firefox or thunderbird they do not detect the system settings
In 11.04 it worked just fine

Did you upgrade from Natty, or did you clean install Oneiric?

It is a clean install

If you manually set the proxy in each app, does it work ok?

I suggest you report a bug then. The clean install means there are no old configs to get in the way. Keep the individual settings so your apps work .

Can you help with this problem?
