If I remember correctly, Firefox has a bug where it won't do DNS

may
resolve the issue your are seeing, assuming DNS blocking/filtering in your country.

That's not a bug, it's firefox default behavior. To change this: 1- Go to about:config 2- Set network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true

I stand corrected. Thanks for catching that, that's a much easier solution to the same problem.
