[Bug 381172] New: Firefox shouldn' t use gconf proxy settings if not running under Gnome
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381172 Summary: Firefox shouldn't use gconf proxy settings if not running under Gnome Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: wolfgang@rosenauer.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Firefox 3 got the system proxy feature we introduced in FF2 with one little difference. It always uses gconf if it is available to find the proxy settings. SUSE's Firefox 2 used it only if running under Gnome while otherwise it used the http_proxy environment variables if set. The default gconf setting should be to also read the environment variables and therefore in default configuration it doesn't make a real difference. Anyway I propose to only use gconf proxy settings if running under Gnome and fall back to environment immediately to avoid a bit of confusion. -- 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.

If people are fine with it we can just land it in xulrunner but anyway it would be interesting if the settings daemon need to run for the gnome feature since then we should absolutely have that patch. -- 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.
