How to change proxy credentials in Firefox?

Hello,
One of our staff recently changed her password which is used for the proxy.
I've updated the credentials in network preferences and it seems to work fine for other browsers (Chrome and Safari) but Firefox does not seem to work.
All other settings in FF should be correct.
Can anyone tell me how to update credentials for the proxy?
Thanks in advance.
Side note: this is on a Mac

I believe changing the proxy for firefox is the same on a mac as with window. You can go to the network settings and change it from there, and I believe firefox will ask to use the settings, otherwise you can go to Settings>Options>Advanced>Network and then on the top will be place that says configure how firefox connects to the internet. Hit that settings button and you can then configure it all. At the bottom of there, there is a button that says "Do not prompt for authentication if the password is saved". I would clear that box because that is probably why her authentication isn't working. Once she has put in new authentication, it should ask if you want to update it. Thats when you can go back there and check the button to not prompt for authentication if the password is saved.
Just in case this was way to long, or didn't make sense, I have a couple screenshots. These were taken on my windows computer, not my mac but it will be the same thing.

How to change default browser to Firefox.

Hi,
I've upgraded our Solution Manager 7.0 to EHP1. Most of the applications that I use: sld, smd, user admin, etc. run fine in my default browser, Firefox.
But when I use a workcenter, RCA for example, and I open a webdynpro application which runs on a separate browser window, Internet Explorer is always used. How can I change this behaviour to choose the right default browser ?
Regards,
Joan

Hi Joan,
You can set in your Firefox. Go to Tools->Options. Choose the Main tabs, then press button Check Now in system default and if your firefox not set as default browser you will be asked to change the default browser from IE to firefox. I've been using firefox as default browser to test workcenter service.
Hope it helps.
Rgds,
Desty.

How to set proxy server in firefox in windows mobile

how can i ser proxy for firefox
i am using windwos mobile and i can only set the proxy for GPRS
is there any way to set in firefox?
pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaassse

I haven't tested this, but if you type about:config in the address bar and search for "proxy" then you might be able to set the "network.proxy.http" and "network.proxy.http_port" preferences to the name and port of your proxy server.

How to change the directory where firefox stores the bookmarks

I want to setup firefox so it will store all files, including the bookmarks, to another directory than the default directory.
example d:\backup\mozilla\firefox\
This will make it easier for me to backup these files.
How can I do this ?

Try using profile manager that may allow you to setup a profile on the d:\ drive if so that is where the bookmarks will then be stored. (If that does not work resort to manually editing the profile.ini)

How to set proxy credentials to access wms services in Oracle Mapviewer

Hi,
I use Oracle Mapviewer v. 11_1_1_4 and I want to access WMS service but my LAN uses a proxy server that requires authentication.
The mapviewer configuration file doesn't allow setting 'user' and 'password' proxy parameters. Other threads report this problem like the following:
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/620366
The previous thread is five years old. Are there other solutions now? Does last mapviewer allow users setting proxy authentication?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Arturo

go to commons-httpclient-3.1\docs\tutorial.html. In the left hand side you will get a link named as " user guide" and under that "Authentication Guide" link. check it out.

How to change character encoding in firefox 4 without enabling menu bar

Occasionally I need to try various character encoding so the characters look correctly. However, with the new Firefox 4 interface, the only place I can find to do that is to re-enable the old style Menu Bar then select View->Character Encoding

You can find the Character Encoding in the Firefox > Web Developer sub menu.

Use keymgr.dll credentials for firefox proxy

I am accessing the web trough a proxy.
The thing is that since I'm logged into a domain, the domain user I have has restricted proxy access.
However, If I use a different user to log into the proxy I do get access since this user has no proxy restrictions.
I finally was able to use this different cproxy credentials by using control keymgr.dll on windows, as far as I understand it basically logs using the stored credentials when attempting to go to some site (in this case myproxy.whatever.com)
The thing is that If i use firefox to browse, it apparently attempts to use the domain user/ password when accessing to the proxy so it has restricted access.
So I can think of two solutions, but I need help so here are the questions:
Solution a).- How to force firefox to ask for authentication cedentials when accessing to the proxy?
Solution b).- How to use the keymgr.dll credentials (same way that IE does) to firefox when attempting to access proxy?
or, possible solution c).- how to and where to store proxy credentials for firefox?

Peter, the autheticated user is available from the portal request object. Get that one in your application and read from the UME all the properties you wanna get and build your web service call with it. It looks for me straight forward, what exactly is your problem?
cheers
