- | Scroll down until you find the **network.proxy...** options or use the search box. | ||
- | |||
- | Type the IP of the proxy server in the **network.proxy.socks** preference. If the proxy server is on your machine, use '' | ||
- | |||
- | Likewise, set **network.proxy.socks_port** to be the port of the proxy server. | ||
