 Replying to [comment:12 gk]:
 > Works with a vanilla ESR 31.5.3, interesting. Let's see if we get this
 sorted out last-minute for 4.5.

 But not if we are setting `network.proxy.socks_remote_dns` to `true`. In
 this case Firefox 33 is the first version to have this problem fixed. Some
 testing gives https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 central/pushloghtml?fromchange=99f694d1b50&tochange=35f3fa435d2c as the
 commit range. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693808, which
 Florian pointed too, seems the likely candidate for the bugfix.

 I have rebased that patch set to ESR 31 in my bug_6503. There are only
 minor conflicts which I resolved as a PoC without studying them further +
 the branch is totally untested. Given that do we want to try getting it
 into the next alpha (assuming I indeed hit the right bug :) )?
