Automatic update of Firefox not working with transp. proxy

Hi,

We're having problems with the automatic update of firefox. I know there's a new version released but it's not downloading it. In the help-menu in firefox it says: Downloading Firefox 2.0.0.4, but it never finishes.

Anyone having the same problem with ASL 6.305 and using the proxy in transparent mode?

Should i whitelist any particular hosts?

Thank you

Creating an exeption for mozilla.org shouldn't be necessary. Firefox updates works fine on all our systems without it.

Are you using transparent http-proxy? It's not working here. I have the same problem with windowsupdate and had to add some dns-hosts to solve it. Looks like the same problem with firefox.

Still no luck with firefox though. Not updating as it should even if i've added mozilla.org as a dnshostname and added it to the skip-list.

The problem was solved when i added mozilla.org and ftp-mozilla.netscape.com as multiple dns-hostname to the proxy skiplist.

Quick update:

when disabling HTTPS update works fine. I've created an exception for mozilla.com
mozilla.org
mozillamessaging.com

but still nothing

Old thread, but maybe still an issue for some users. So maybe this helps
