By default Firefox will do the name resolution locally then make SOCKS4
requests with the resulting IP addresses.  You can change that by going to
about:config and setting network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true, which will
cause Firefox to make SOCKS4A requests which have the un-resolved names in
them, which the SSH server will then resolve.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
