[Mozilla Enterprise] Error with using system proxy settings (when changing from using "automatic proxy configuration URL" by default via policies.json)

[Robert Solomon]

I think this is due to your configuration.

Are you using a WPAD that specifies a direct connection for local servers?
Use system settings won't work then unless it is set up properly.

Take a look at the settings in your http://wpad.example.com/wpad.dat
(substitute your network) and replicate in the system configuration.

Look for something like this:
// test for direct addresses
if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
dnsDomainIs(host, ".somedomain.something") ||
(host=="127.0.0.1") )
return "DIRECT";
