Comment:

 Unset proxies (like ftp and gopher in our case) use the socks proxy. So
 there is no problem here, I believe.

 Also, there are other protocols that firefox handles that don't have a
 line in the proxy settings window that you ought to be worrying about too.
 Fortunately, they also use the socks proxy if it's set.
