  3)
  Gnome Network Proxy has different settings for HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS proxies.
  And Firefox proxy settings are set to use System proxy settings.

  While browsing, Firefox must use HTTP/HTTPS proxy.

  4)
  Firefox actually uses SOCKS proxy, instead of HTTP/HTTPS.

  
  NB... If using those proxy settings in Firefox itself, it uses HTTP/HTTPS...
  I guess, it must use HTTP also from System settings as well...
