[Bug] Proxy settings aren't applied

[mbrevda]

Current Behavior

When provisioning proxy settings via env vars, the settings aren't applied until accessing proxy settings via the giu and clicking "OK"

Expected Behavior

Proxy setting should be applied out of the box

Steps To Reproduce

docker-compose.yaml

services:
  firefox:
    image: jlesage/firefox
    ports:
      - "5800:5800"
    environment:
      FF_PREF_PROXY_HTTP: 'network.proxy.http="foo.bar.baz"'
      FF_PREF_PROXY_HTTP_PORT: 'network.proxy.http_port=8080'
      FF_PREF_PROXY_TYPE: 'network.proxy.type=1'
      FF_PREF_PROXY_SHARE_SETTINGS: 'network.proxy.share_proxy_settings=true'

run with docker compose up. When running, no paged should be displayed due to the invalid proxy server. Unfortioanlly, browsing works fine (albeit unproxied).

Environment

I had the same issue but fixed it by essentially double quoting the string values. It's as if the variables expect an integer or boolean. quoting the strings lets the system know they are strings. I use Ansible for my deployments. You could try switching the quote marks but I am not sure.

See below, it works for me:

env:
FF_OPEN_URL: "https://ipinfo.io/what-is-my-ip"
FF_PREF_DOWNLOAD_DIR: "browser.download.dir='/mnt/downloads/firefox'"
FF_PREF_PROXY_TYPE: "network.proxy.type=1"
FF_PREF_HTTP_PROXY: "network.proxy.http='somehost'"
FF_PREF_HTTP_PROXY_PORT: "network.proxy.http_port=8080"
FF_PREF_SHARE_PROXY_SETTINGS: "network.proxy.share_proxy_settings=true"
