As passive_ftp only relates to ftp, but you're only showing HTTP URLs, I doubt that this relates.

    So are we out of ideas? Oh dear... Trying to add extra info: I can ftp remote servers from shell...

      I'm not sure why you think that ftp is relevant to the problem at hand.

      Personally, I would look with a network sniffer like Wireshark at what (or whether) network traffic leaves the machine, and whether it tries to use the proxy or not.

        Ftp - just to see that I can get to the outside world from the shell, not just the browser.
