System Proxy Settings only work as root
Using Firefox 10.1 on Suse Linux Enterprise Edition 11 SP2
Setting the System Proxy settings to our Proxy and using Firefox with "using System Proxy Settings" works as root user. The Authentication Prompt for Authentication Pops up and after entering the credentials FF works.
The very same Settings do not work as non-root User. Not even the Authentication Prompt for Proxy Authentication pops up.
All Proxy Settings are available too both users (checked Variables exported in Shell).
Any Pointers appreciated.

Does it work if you enter the proxy details directly or use the auto-detect setting in the connection settings?

Yes, entering the Proxy settings manually does work. Even the automatic configuration using the proxy.pac works. Just the "Use System Settings" part does not.
