Bug#651499: iceweasel: Iceweasel does not work with system proxy settings

[Alberto Garcia]

Package: iceweasel

Version: 8.0-3+b1
Severity: normal

Since a while ago (version 7 at least) I can't get the GNOME 3 system
proxy settings to work in Iceweasel.

Removing the ~/.mozilla directory, or running it in safe mode or with
MOZILLA_DISABLE_PLUGINS=1 does not help. I have to use the manual or
automatic proxy configuration to make it work. 

Epiphany and Chromium don't have that problem, however.
