password completion fails for moz-proxy:// on Android

Hi. I use Firefox Nightly and I enabled a secure proxy over TLS using only the built-in features, no addons.

My about:config : network.proxy.type = 2 network.proxy.autoconfigurl = data:text/plain,function FindProxyForURL(u,h){return "HTTPS my-secure-proxy:443";}

When I open any site for the first time it asks for the proxy credentials as expected: The proxy moz-proxy://my-secure-proxy:443 is requesting a username and a password.

After entering the credentials I confirm to save them and as long as the Firefox app is not stopped it works. However, when the app is restarted it asks for the password again with both fields blank and after entering the same credentials it asks me to update the saved credentials.

This only happens on Android. Firefox for Windows with the same proxy settings can autocomplete the moz-proxy:// password.

I think it has something to do with the OS keyring unable to store the passwords for unknown URI schemas.

Is there some workaround for that?

Keazen oplossing

If you look in the Add-ons option in the Firefox for Android menu (even in the Nightly version) you should see FoxyProxy Standard.

I hope that this helps.

Hi

About:config works differently in Firefox for Android with a number of the preferences built into the underlying GeckoView engine - this could be what you are seeing when you reopen Firefox.

You may wish to use the FoxyProxy add-on.

I couldn't find the Android version of FoxyProxy or similar addons.
