Hi. I’ve just installed Fedora 38.
Firefox doesn’t follow the proxy rules I’ve set in Gnome control center.
When I set HTTP and HTTPS proxy settings and run the Firefox through terminal, It follows the settings but when Only Socks5 proxy is set, it doesn’t use proxy even after running it in terminal.
This is /usr/bin/firefox file which runs the firefox when we click on firefox icon:
