Bug#676286: iceweasel: automatic proxy configuration settings not respected

[Al Grimstad]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 10.0.5esr-1
Followup-For: Bug #676286

I'm experiencing a variant of this bug in up-to-date testing (wheezy).
iceweasel does not respect a manually configured system proxy (System
Settings->Network->Proxy). The bug report claims that this works but proxy via
url doesn't. That's not correct. The only way to have a proxy in iceweasel is
to configure it within iceweasel. This is a regression from iceweasel in
squeeze.
