the cause is well known and old. Firefox act as it was in gnome environment to get system proxy settings and fails in kde environment.
why you don't patch firefox as mandriva does for in kde environment firefox get the system proxy settings with success
The KDE patches have their origin in openSUSE and are still used and applied. Did you really analyze the issue as you stated above "cause is well known and old"? Firefox in openSUSE is using libproxy to find all proxy settings. Please check if your libproxy system is working correctly. You can install libproxy-tools and use the commandline tool "proxy" to find out if libproxy gets the correct stuff: Hygiea:~ # proxy http://www.opensuse.org direct:// -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hence, libproxy does not see your proxy configuration... all apps making use of libproxy will suffer from this. Can you verify you have libproxy1-config-kde4 installed? Also, please provide the output of: _MM_DEBUG=1 _PX_DEBUG=1 proxy http://www.google.com If possible, also the output of env | grep -i kde -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

with manual proxy settings i have also
@linux-8frv:~> proxy http://www.opensuse.org direct:// @linux-8frv:~>
libproxy believes the address chosen should go through a direct connection
libproxy1-config-kde4 0.4.7-14.4.1
Good
success : /usr/lib64/libproxy-0.4.7/modules/config_kde4.so Registering 20kde_config_extension(N8libproxy16config_extensionE)
Loading the module is fine... hence the session was detected
Using config: 20kde_config_extension
And KDE config was found to be the most appropriate for your system. Which leads to to believe that there might have been a change in KConfig in KDE 4.10... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

i configured proxy settings with yast tool
Ok.. that explains it then: - the 'System settings' in this case is meant to mean 'session settings': so the right action is to configure your proxy inside KDE Control Center, where the configuration options are extended over yast (like proxy autodetection, proxy auto configuration, proper ignore lists, [...]) Please set your proxy like this, and see FF making use of them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
