Regardless of the disclaimer by the author, Firefox is still very much broken in versions 3.5, 3.6, and now 4.0. None of them will honor the http_proxy environment variables, regardless of what you have your Preferences set to.

This plugin is extremely handy, especially on systems where you need to specify the proxy outside of Firefox and have it just work. I have verified Environment Proxy works great on Firefox 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, and 4.0.
