Via Slack,

Jed Davis 8:02 AM Seems to be broken with captive portals — I get error messages that Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that's refusing connections.

Jed Davis 8:03 AM (The Denver “office”, a room in a coworking space, has some Meraki nonsense with a captive portal that doesn't always go away after you authenticate.)

Nhi Nguyen 1 hour ago can you turn networking logging on (about:networking) and try to reproduce please?

Also, this Slack thread:

bballo 10:20 AM I also ran into a situation today where sites stopped loading, with the error that Firefox is using a proxy server that's refusing connections.

Disconnecting from Firefox Private Network didn't fix the issue, only disabling the add-on altogether did. I was also in an environment with a captive portal (a coffee shop).

This should be fixed in v17.
