Hi,

I have just pointed firefox to obtain its proxy configuration from
file://etc/proxy.pac (note that there is one slash missing). I didn't
receive any error message, but the proxy settings were silently ignored.

I think that at least the "Reload" button should make firefox emit an
error message if the proxy configuration file is not found.

Greetings
Marc

I agree. I suggest filing a bug upstream as well.

I tend to disagree. Ignoring proxy settings is quite a bad bug as it
might lead to people trying to debug a proxy that is functioning
properly.

With all due respect, I believe that interaction with upstream is the
duty of the Debian maintainer.

Yes, because nobody cared about this bug in three years and three
months.

Done. Confirmed. Any more burning hoops to jump trough to allow this
bug to rot away in the BTS for three more years?
