Mozilla: your lack of SOCKS disturbs me.
This bug is seriously unimpressive. It’s a six-year-old NEW bug which has just cost me (and my client) 3 days’ work. It makes SOCKS v5 essentially useless with Firefox, because there’s no way to specify the username/password pair to authenticate against the proxy.
Ok, so no other browser gets this right either. So what? Circuit-level proxies work with just about every other class of application, you’d have thought it’d be manageable here.
Feck. Back to the drawing board.
