Enable Socks5 proxy in Firefox

I can reproduce when using Tor browser as proxy:

• Launch Tor browser
• Proxy settings:

Especially, Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5 must be check -- the issue is not reproducible without that setting.

Unfortunately, the bugzilla issue related to this is stale, so no workaround possible.

For now uBO will have to discard the browser-framework provided IP address when it's 0.0.0.0.

Same here, using uBO in LibreWolf on Linux with a Tor SOCKS5 proxy, the uBlock filters - Privacy list breaks pretty much all websites catastrophically

For now uBO will have to discard the browser-framework provided IP address when it's 0.0.0.0.

So, is it the dns.resolve() or onHeadersReceived()?

[gorhill]

So, is it the dns.resolve() or onHeadersReceived()?

It's browser-provided ip address to webRequest listeners, so onHeadersReceived().

1.59.1rc1 contains a tentative fix, to be confirmed by those suffering the issue.

[MasterKia]

It's fixed for me.

Works for me now too
