It's now 1.75 years later...

AFAIR, with "plugin" I referred to the browser plugin that then uses javaws
to start the app.  When writing the title of the bug I didn't know which
part of the setup is doing wrong, i. e. if it's the browser plugin that
reads the proxy setup from the Firefox configuration, or if that is done
by javaws, or if javaws does nonsense with a configuration read correctly
by the browser plugin.

Fedora 16 is long after EOL, and I've re-installed my computer with
Linux Mint Debian Edition.  This uses packages from Debian, the versions
of the browser plugin and the javaws binary are:
icedtea-6-plugin:amd64 1.3.2-1
icedtea-netx:amd64 1.3.2-1

I've so far not tried to test the error condition with LMDE, because I had
to find my ways around this bug, and I use the workaround ever since.  This
means to use more than one browser, and have Firefox configured with no
proxy, and working proxy settings in the other browsers.

Should version 1.3.2 have the fix you mentioned?  If so, then it would make
sense to test again.
