RSelenium and auto proxy

Greetings, I am trying to download a ScienceDirect article through RSelenium.

Operating System

Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

Selenium Server version (selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar etc.)

docker run -d -p 4445:4444 selenium/standalone-firefox:2.53.0

Browser version (firefox 50.1.0, chrome 54.0.2840.100 (64-bit) etc.)

firefox "45.0.2"

Expected behaviour

Given that the autoproxy settings work I believe on the screenshot I should see a Download button in the upper left corner.

Actual behaviour

I see a Purchase button instead of the Download PDF button. When I actually open in the browser I see a Download PDF button.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I am in the University network whilst trying this so it not as straightforward to replicate when outside the network, but I am hoping that there is an obvious mistake I am making that is apparent from the code itself.

firefox_profile.me <- makeFirefoxProfile(list(marionette = TRUE, webdriver_accept_untrusted_certs = TRUE,
webdriver_assume_untrusted_issuer = TRUE,
network.proxy.socks = "http://pac.lrz.de/",
network.proxy.type = 2L)) 

remDr <- remoteDriver(port = 4445L, browserName = "firefox", extraCapabilities = firefox_profile.me)
remDr$open(silent = FALSE)
remDr$navigate("https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010027718300441")
remDr$screenshot(display = TRUE)

Same problem when I try

firefox_profile.me <- makeFirefoxProfile(list(marionette = TRUE,
                                              network.proxy.autoconfig_url = "http://pac.lrz.de/",
                                              network.proxy.type = 2))
