Hello,

I am using SSH tunnels to create a SOCKS proxy. When I used Firefox 23 it works fine, when I use any recent version of Nightly it's not working. I am using a FoxyProxy add-on normally, but I tried to disable it completely and use internal proxy settings (SOCKS, localhost, 6789) then it does not work either.

I understand, you may need more detailed information, but please clarify which info you need.

Thanks for your help

I am really sorry, I have some additional info

I tried to run nightly in safe-mode and manually set the SOCKS proxy and it works as supposed.

In that case it might be a problem with addon code
