How to Configure a Mozilla Firefox Proxy

Do you want to use proxies on your browser without affecting network traffic on your entire device? One way to do this is by using network proxy extensions like Proxy SwitchyOmega. Another option is Mozilla Firefox, which lets you configure proxy server settings directly within the app. Ready to find out how? Keep reading to see how to set up Mozilla Firefox proxy settings.

How to Set Up Mozilla Firefox Proxies

So, let’s get to it. First, you need the Firefox browser installed on your device. You can download it from here. Once ready, follow these steps to configure a proxy server on Mozilla:

1. Launch Firefox and click on the menu button (1) - the three horizontal lines on the top-right corner of the browser.

2. Select ‘Settings’ (2) from the drop-down menu.

3. Scroll down in the 'Privacy and security' (3) panel to locate the 'Connection and software security' section and click the 'Advanced settings' (4) button.

4. Click the 'Configure proxy' (5) section under ‘Proxy settings.’

5. In the new window, you’ll see four options, from network proxy auto-detection to manual setup. To set up your proxies manually, select the last option, ‘Manual proxy configuration’ (6).

6. Fill in the fields below according to your proxy server protocols. We will use an HTTP proxy and click the box to also use it for HTTPS traffic (7). Add the hostname (8) and port (9) from the IPRoyal dashboard to the respective fields.

7. Enter any address that should bypass the proxy in the ‘No proxy for’ (10) field, and click ‘OK’ (11) to save your proxy settings.

8. If your proxy requires authentication, you’ll be prompted for the proxy username and password (12) before connecting to the internet. Once you fill these fields, click ‘Sign in’ (13) to start using your proxy.
