New description:

 GeckoHLSPlayer uses the DefaultHttpDataSource to create an Object
 represents a connection to the remote object referred to by the URL.

 And DefaultHttpDataSource doesn't respect Firefox proxy values, it uses
 the URL::openConnection (without Proxy) method provided by the Android SDK
 instead of the ProxySelector.
