| Access the Internet through a Proxy Server SUMMARY: If security restrictions require accessing the Internet through a proxy server, here's how to configure Mozilla Firefox
For security reasons, if you access the Internet through a proxy server, you need to configure Mozilla Firefox with the correct settings, else you may not be able to access web sites, FTP servers, and the like through your web browser.
1. Click "Tools" - "Options".
2. When the "Options" dialog box appears, click "General".
3. Click the "Connection Settings" button.
4. A "Connection Settings" dialog box will appear. Here you can decide whether to use:
* A direct connection to the Internet (default)
* Auto-detect proxy settings for this network
* Manual proxy configuration
* Automatic proxy configuration URL (if you select this, enter the URL).
5. If you require a proxy, auto-detection fails, and you do not have an automatic configuration URL, you need to configure Mozilla Firefox manually with the proxy settings.
* Enter proxy information for the following protocols: HTTP, SSL, FTP, Gopher, and SOCKS. If all use the same proxy settings, click the "Use the same proxy for all protocols" button.
* Next to "No proxy for", enter addresses that don't require a proxy server to access.
6. When done, click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.
