The only reason I don't use Firefox anymore is because it doesn't automatically pick up changes in my proxy settings, whereas Chrome does. So with Chrome I can have tabs open on my laptop at work, then bring it home and continue to use the same tabs, while with Firefox I have to remember to go in and change my proxy settings.
- dblohm7 12y agoYou could request this by filing a bug in Bugzilla.
- wanderview 12y agoI asked our networking folks and there are couple parts to fix this. First, this bug recently landed which allows us to respect the system network status better: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=939318 I believe thats enabled on windows in FF35, but won't be enabled in Mac/Linux until FF38. There is a separate issue to deal specifically with recovering from proxy settings that have gone bad, though: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1121800 Work has not started there, but its on our radar.
- kyllo 12y agoThank you for the helpful response. There are a lot of other little things I don't like about Chrome, so once this little issue with Firefox is fixed I want to switch back to it. Good to know that there is a bug filed for it!
