--- Comment #2 from JiriVanek <jvanek at redhat.com> ---
The plugin is dead.. deal with it.. Sorry.
The code did not changed for *years*. Next major release of ITW will have it
deprecated.   Complete drop will follow in few more years...

Currently I have no idea why it do not work with waterfox. It was working
before, but is not now...? Or was it never?  It is really strange that it is
visible in plugins, but not work. The pastebin trace contains nothing wrong.

The only thing I can explain why old firefox profile usage is visible: 
In FirefoxPreferencesFinder we have method find, which seaks for *firefox* used
profile, and parse proxy settings form here if possible. if not, and proxy is
necessary, you must set it up manually in itweb-settings.
I can fix this for you by allowing reading from waterfox and palemoon or other
ff-brand  forks, and/or to make it setup-able via
itweb-setting/deployment.propoerties.


I will try to make waterfox run on my Fedora and see how plugin behaves. But
not anytime soon (maybe youcan try in VM?). The plugin is depending on glibc
and comp. And pipes implementation (and bridging with java). If you not mention
Kubuntu, then I would even say it can be bug in BSD.
