Use HProxy with Mozilla Firefox.
Firefox has its own proxy settings, so an HProxy proxy goes in without an extension.
Firefox is the main browser that keeps its own proxy configuration instead of deferring to the operating system, which makes it the simplest for a per-browser proxy.
Because the setting is Firefox's own, you can point one browser at a proxy while everything else on the machine stays direct, handy for testing a geo-restricted page in isolation.
Setting up HProxy in Mozilla Firefox
- 1.Open Settings, search for Network Settings and click Settings.
- 2.Choose Manual proxy configuration.
- 3.Enter gate.hproxy.com and your port in the HTTP Proxy fields, and tick to use it for HTTPS.
- 4.Browse; Firefox prompts once for the username and password.
Worth knowing
Set the SOCKS host instead if you were issued a SOCKS5 port; the two are not interchangeable.
The host, port and login shown here are the format; your exact values are on your dashboard, ready to copy.
