Package: foxyproxy Version: 2.7.5~dfsg.1-1 Severity: important X-debbugs-cc: eric.jung-/[email protected], amb-Uxr6IM1mbv2TY6FTCsQk+9Bc4/[email protected], wwwoffle-users-Uxr6IM1mbv2TY6FTCsQk+9Bc4/[email protected] Using tcpflow -i any, I have determined that $ firefox URL #also called iceweasel on Debian ignores foxyproxy, connecting straight to the Internet (ran out the door without its chastity belt!) If one does not want firefox to sneak around foxyproxy's back, one must first start firefox with no URL argument, then one can safely give URLs from the command line (or URL entry box inside firefox): $ firefox & sleep 11; firefox URL (I suspect that firefox will still occasionally get its own personal favorite URLs ("call home for updates" or whatever) behind our backs anyway. Probably need to enforce the proxy right there on port 80...)
