Comment:

 Hm. Did that work before and just Tor Browser 8.5 breaks now? The problem
 with GPOs is that it seems Tor Browser is happily following whatever the
 GPO is telling it. That means this could lead to a proxy bypass, see:
 #29916. We therefore set: `browser.policies.testing.disallowEnterprise` to
 `true`. Does flipping that pref get things working for you again? Where
 does the PAC file actually point to?
