Hi I was having some issues with firefox on F8t3 today, so I moved aside my .mozilla directory to re-generate the default setup. However, firefox wouldn't restart because it's looking for updates or something and I'm behind a mandatory web proxy/cache. Copying in my old prefs.js file gets me running again. I can't tell you how many times I have to set application specific settings to get past the proxy - wget, php pear, yum, firefox (!), rkhunter, extra Fedora software during install, etc, etc. For FC9, how about setting a proxy early in the installer and using this for all web-using applications ? I appreciate there are many outstanding requests/bug reports to do with proxies, so I'm just trying to raise its profile a bit.
