Bug Report

Description

When a proxy is configured, the browser is not properly configured to use it
when no proxy is selected, Firefox is set to "Manual proxy configuration" mode instead of "No proxy" (Direct connection).

Is this a regression?

not tested in earlier versions

Minimal Reproduction

  1. Configure a SOCKS5 proxy (e.g., 127.0.0.1:9050) in Donutbrowser's proxy management.
  2. Assign the proxy to a Firefox-based profile (Firefox, Firefox Developer, or Zen).
  3. Launch the profile and check Firefox's proxy settings (about:config or Preferences > Network Settings).
  4. Observe that proxy settings are not correctly configured, and traffic does not go through the proxy.
  5. Remove the proxy assignment from the profile.
  6. Launch the profile again.
  7. Observe that Firefox still shows "Manual proxy configuration" instead of "No proxy".

Your Environment

  • Donutbrowser version: 0.13.9
  • Browser: Firefox 128.0+
  • Arch linux
  • Proxy type tested: SOCKS5 (Tor proxy at 127.0.0.1:9050)
  • Verification: curl --socks5 localhost:9050 https://ifconfig.me works correctly outside the app
