[Mozilla Enterprise] Proxy Settings switch back to "Use System Proxy Settings" on restart

[Peter Schlierf]

Hello Enterprise-Group,

hope some of you can help me here, as I could till now not find the reason, why that happens.

We use now the Group Policy feature with FF 60.1 ESR and set the Proxy Settings to "Use System Proxy settings":

We explicitly Disabled the feature
Don't allow proxy settings to be changed.

Disabled


But we unfortunately got feedback from some  users where the users changed their settings, but on the next start of Firefox the setting is back to "Use system proxy settings".

Interesting is after the change in the GUI for the proxy I can see the change in the about:config for this session:

But as said on next start the setting for network.proxy.type is set back to 5.
The other changes stay as value for network.proxy.autoconfig_url is still available.

Anyone else observes this problem or has an idea what could trigger that?


Freundliche Grüße / Best regards,
