Firefox 147.0.4 on macOS 26.3 does not work via SOCKS proxy.

Firefox 147.0.4 on Windows 11 x64 works fine via the same intranet SOCKS proxy, with exactly the same settings.

The advantage of Firefox is its flexibility. It supports its own SOCKS proxy settings, independent of systems-wide ones. Unfortunately, it seems this Firefox feature is broken on macOS (but Windows version works perfectly).

Safari 26.3 (21623.2.7.11.6) and DuckDuckGo 1.177.0 (625) web-browsers that use system-wide macOS SOCKS proxy settings also works fine with this intranet proxy server. So it seems SOCKS proxy server itself is OK, and the problem is confined to Firefox on macOS.

Has anyone seen Firefox 147 on macOS work via SOCKS proxy? Is there a principal difference between how Firefox handles SOCKS proxy on macOS vs. Windows? What might be the best way to address the problem on macOS?

Thanks!

When browsing to The Algemeiner.com in desktop Firefox V147.0.4 this morning, I consistantly got an error from every link on the page

======

"404 Apologies

The page you're looking for doesn't exist."

In spite of this message, I was able to use the page, and all the links on it, normally from within Google Chrome. Is Mozilla censoring this site?

After the most recent upgrades (both MacOS to 26.4 beta and Firefox 147.0.4), Firefox is giving me this message: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. Any suggestions?

Hi, on my macbookpro. Searches take minutes to load, websites take minutes to load. Youtube takes minutes to loand, but once loaded and I start a video, it runs for a couple of minutes then video suddenly stops and I have to wait for couple of minutes for the video to continue again and it keeps repeating, all my other web browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc..) works perfectly. It also uses sFirefox is bascially unusable! I am running the latest version.

I also saw a NoScript XSS Warning:

NoScript detected a potential Cross-Site Scripting attack

from https://www.youtube.com to https://accounts.google.com.

Suspicious data:

After being able to view Netflix content on Firefox for, well, a long time, today I encountered audio with no video. Only a black screen. I contacted Netflix and they're telling me that Firefox needs updating - we tested Safari and it was able to play the entire content, video and audio. I checked Firefox and the info states the browser is up to date. I should add I'm on a Macbook Pro. The quality on Safari was not as good as Firefox has been so I would prefer not to have to use a second browser for one task. Can anyone provide some information on this situation?
