i am using latest firefox (106.0.5, snap) in ubuntu 22.10 64 bit. i have set ubuntu network setting to manual and have set socks proxy there (socks host: 127.0.0.1 port: 2345). while other browsers can connect through system socks proxy, firefox is unable to connect it. i have changed and tested different configs in firefox network menue but no one was helpful. i have also try to solve the problem using foxyproxy addins but it does not correct as expected. sometimes it connects and many time it does not. what is the firefox problem with socks proxy? how can i solve that? thx.
