Comment(by mikeperry):
Ok, more analysis: Something in FF15 definitely is caching proxy settings
by url. Manually altering my proxy settings to new values allows
previously loaded urls to still use the old proxy settings. Wow, good
thing we jumped off the toggle ship early.
So the reason check.tp.o is failing is because the browser homepage is
actually attempting to load *before* we set new proxy settings from our
env vars, which causes it to use the original proxy settings (the
previously set, now broken ones) for all subsequent loads.
I can try moving our proxy settings updates to an early-loaded XPCOM
component and see if that helps...
The good news is that since they don't use a randomized socks port, I
think our Windows builds should be fine...
