Story: Microsoft says Firefox 'not a threat to IE'
Posted by: Chris Rankin (Thursday 11 November 2004, 9:40 PM)
FireFox *does* work with proxy servers. I haven't tested the 1.0 release at work yet (where we are running the MS proxy server), but my current FireFox installation prompts me to login to the proxy and then allows me to surf the Internet normally. I think the point is that the 1.0-PR version attempted to authenticate with a proxy server automatically, but the feature was buggy and needed to be turned off:
Type "about:config' into the URL bar, search for the
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies
setting, and toggle it to 'false'. This is one bug that I'm hoping is fixed in the final release.
