Need to swich proxy for it to work (Firefox)

[poiNt3D]

Description

Hi.
My setup is simple:
I have a subscription list with multiple proxies on my network.
All of them currently are Socks5 with DNS forwaring, no auth.

When I start\restart Firefox, even if a working proxy was selected, it's detected as not working (icon with cross).
If I change the current proxy then change it back, it works again!

The problem seems to be more pronounced on Smart mode than Always Enable.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a working proxy selected
2. Close Firefox
3. Open Firefox
4. Go to a site on your list

Which browsers did you test this on?

Firefox

Affected browser versions

156

Affected SmartProxy versions

2.4.2

Screenshots of the problems or steps to reproduce

Any additional context

Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

Not enough information is given here.

Make sure the rules are fetched? The tooltip here shows the error if any:

I have no rules subscriptions. The rules are local.
Let me know what information you might need.

Indeed, seems on 2.4.2 version something changed because SOCKS5 proxy working fine some time but then just doesn't working like no connection to internet but it is and proxy fine. Then after some time it's working like nothing happened.
For prvious version was fine - 2.3.0 etc or maybe issue with last FF 156 dunno.

FF 156 last, SmartProxy - Always Enabled.

This doesn't help, it could be anything causing this in your end.
Maybe enable diagnostics and send the report to my email salarcode [at] gmail
Keep the diagnostics running until the problem occurs

Diagnostics file just contains [object Object].
No errors present on Developer console of the extension, and no network requests are made after a cold start and going to a proxied site. The tab developers console just shows time out eventually.

[Edit]: New information: it's not a timeout, traffic just goes directly bypassing the proxy. My previous tests were done on a regionally blocked website. IP testing website shows my real IP after a cold start.

I've done some more testing.

1. Disabled all other extensions

2. Performed Factory Reset on SmartProxy

3. • Added 1 proxy server to Proxy Servers tab.
   • After closing the browser and opening again everything works perfectly. I get the proxy IP.
4. • Added 1 proxy subscription (77 socks servers).
   • Selected a proxy from the subscription.
   • Closed the browser and opened again - nothing works: IP testing website shows my real IP, while Always Enable profile is selected and a proxy from my subscription list is selected.
5. • Clicked another proxy on the list. My IP address has changed.
   • Clicked previously selected proxy - aaand it's working!
