Interesting. You didn't even get the stalling problem? I guess if your network's DNS server is fast enough, the lookup delay might not be noticeable.

Yes, I was planning on adding an option for this, but I just wanted to get the 3.0.4 fix out there to stop the DNS request from leaking out for people with anonymizing proxies. I wouldn't have though this would have affected as many people, but it seems some companies have some interesting network setups.

Putting in the option to allow this takes a little bit more testing, which I didn't have the time for the other night. I'll see what I can do now.

Edited to add:
Ok, I've posted 3.0.5 to AMO with an option to allow the lookup for those who can. Just set flagfox.allowdnslookup to true in aboug:config. Will be available there whenever AMO clears it for public release.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for 3.0.5. It's working fine for me at work where we have a proxy, but can do external DNS lookups from our local desktops. No stalling, as our DNS servers are almost instantaneous. :)

I've switched to an asynchronous DNS lookup to work correctly with this option, so even if the servers weren't really fast there shouldn't be a stall anymore. It'll just stay as the "unknown site" icon until the lookup comes back.

Hi David.

Thanks for release of 3.0.5

Now my firefox works fine in that page, though the tool tip of flag is still "local" whether or not I open TOR.

However, I'm OK with it as long as it won't stop any more.
