Bug 8559 says that proxy's are supported now, so i entered my proxy details in the preferences. The folling is in my PREF.JS file user_pref("network.proxy.http", "proxy.jcu.edu.au"); user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080); user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1); With other browsers when i contact the proxy i get a dialog box where i enter username/password for proxy authentication, i dont get that dialog box with mozilla M10 I get a message from my proxy server saying i need a HTTP/1.1 compliant browser. I read on another page that authentication worked, but it doesnt appear to for me. Apprunner reports that the web page loaded succesfully, but the browseer doesnt display it.

(Changing OSes to `All' -- verified on MacOS build)

[changing Platform to All -- forgot to do that earlier] Any sign of movement on this? It's my main Dogfood bug ... I, and probably a fair few other people at universities and other proxy-bound institutions, can't test Mozilla seriously without having access to proxied sites.

I cant promise you too much but the solution is very similar to another bug relating to persistent authentication. I am hoping to fix both for M12 so hang in there...

Is this related to bug #6144? Since bug #6144 seems almost fixed, can this one be easily fixed also?

this bug is not related to 6144. This is pure proxy authentication.
