I use the proxy settings add-on in Firefox to access my company server. However, I updated Firefox this morning to the latest version. Now this add-on doesn'tl.

I used the proxy settings add-on to access the company server and wi-fi with my Android 2.36 phone.
This morning I updated Firefox. The add-on doesn't work anymore. I uninstalled it and went to the add on website to reinstall what I thought must be a new version. This add-on doesn't seem to exist anymore.
How do I change proxy settings with the new version of Firefox for Android?

The author of the add-on will need to update their version to be compliant with our newly rewritten Firefox for Android product.
The new version of Firefox does not provide a user-interface for manipulating proxy settings.
On the other hand, you can manipulate these settings yourself at your own discretion by visiting the URL about:config and searching for network.proxy

  • Use System Proxy Settings - when this is selected in FF v3.6.6, does it adhere to the same local IE proxy setting? We use a pac file configured in "Use automatic configuration script."

    Does anyone know what Firefox looks at locally on the PC when the "Use System Proxy Settings" setting is selected? It appears to be the default setting, recently changed from "No Proxy" of versions past...
    Our company uses a pac file specified in IE under "Use automatic configuration script" - with this new default, does it adhere to the same setting in:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

    I may be wrong but I think that the "Use System Proxy Settings" makes sense only on Linux and generally speaking "other OSes". As far as I know there is no generic proxy settings in Windows operating system.
    The one I know is in the registry part of Internet Explorer.
    So in my understanding in Windows, Use System Proxy Settings = No Proxy

  • Firefox not detecting/using system proxy settings

    I use a command line script to change among various proxies (and none). Firefox does not recognize when a proxy is turned on or fails to connect to it (no error messages), while other browsers and applications do just fine.
    I have tried selecting "Use system proxy settings" and "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network."
    My script contains these lines to activate a proxy
    reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections" /v DefaultConnectionSettings /t REG_BINARY /d 46000000b10000000200000014000000736f636b733d3132372e302e302e313a313131311c0000002a2e6c6f63616c3b3139322e3136382e31312e2a3b3c6c6f63616c3e000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 /f
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v MigrateProxy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    The first line enables the proxy to take effect without entering inetcpl.cpl. Again, this works for any application other than Firefox.
    The proxies are all through ssh with port forwarding.
    I do not want to manually configure a proxy in Firefox, because I do not want to change this every time I need to change proxies or turn them off. This is not an acceptable solution.
    I am on Windows 8.1 64bit, with Firefox version 35.0
    Any idea what might be going on here?

    Thank you for the response, but as above, the "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network." setting does not work.

  • "Use system proxy settings" Not working on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

    When I change the network location or when I select "Use system proxy settings" on the connetion configuration dialog.
    Firefox is not using the proxy defined on the loction set on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
    I usualy change from work to home, at work I've a proxy and at home I don't, and it's a bit annoying to have to change the proxy twice a day. So I tryed this feature, but It's not working for me.
    I've tryed also with Firefox 3.6 (I think) and didn't work either.

    I run it from eclipse, and on debug mode i checked the value of
    java.library.path, and it was ok.
    Any way, how can i do what you suggested on mac?It's just a command line argument, but there's no reason to add it if your
    java.library.path is ok. One of its componenents must be a directory where
    your shared lib is stored, that's all. BTW, the Mac is unix based isn't it?
    Shouldn't it be an .so file then? (just a wild guess)
    kind regards,

  • How Can I pre-configure the proxy settings in Acrobat 8?

    We use a proxy server to authenticate users and it's causing a problem for our e-licensing. Is there a place to pre-configure the proxy settings / login and password for the e-licensing to happen quietly so our users don't have to see it?

    Have you searched the forum for proxy? I do not have an answer, but this has been discussed before. I am not sure there is an answer in the discussions, but it is worth a try. There is likely a knowledgebase article on the issue also. Good luck.

  • Windows - Use system proxy settings not working as expected

    Hi everyone,
    I have a bit of an issue that I could use some help with. We currently have remote users that utilize an SSTP VPN connection to access our internal network. Once connected, those users are required to use an internal proxy server to connect to the Internet. The proxy server is Microsoft's TMG and utilized domain authentication.
    On our remote Windows clients we have their Internet Options configured to utilize a proxy as follows:
    Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> No proxy configured at all
    Internet Options -> Connections -> Highlight SSTP Connection -> Settings
    Use a proxy server for this connection -> IP/Port of Proxy Server
    Firefox and Chrome are both configured to use system proxy settings.
    Here is my process to demonstrate the issues:
    Remote client workstation is rebooted.
    With the above configuration just after a reboot, a remote user that is not connected to the VPN can browse the Internet with Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. None of the browsers prompt for credentials.
    A remote VPN connection is then established.
    FF is opened and HTTP connections utilize the proxy server. However, HTTPS connections do not use the proxy server, but instead attempt to use the default gateway. FF does not prompt for credentials. FF is closed.
    Chrome is opened and can access both HTTP and HTTPS sites without issue. No credential prompt. Chrome is closed.
    IE is opened and can access both HTTP and HTTPS sites without issue. No credential prompt. IE is closed.
    Here's where it gets weirder...
    FF is then reopened. The VPN connection is still up. FF will prompt for credentials. Domain credentials are supplied and FF can now utilize the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS connections. FF is closed.
    VPN is disconnected.
    FF is opened and cannot access the Internet as it is still trying to use the proxy server. FF is closed.
    IE is opened and can access the Internet. IE is closed.
    Chrome is opened and can access the Internet. Chrome is closed.
    FF is reopened and can now access the Internet. FF is closed.
    In summary, in the above scenario FF acts in an unexpected manner with regards to proxy usage when "use system proxy settings" is applied. However, Firefox begins acting as expected after IE is opened and closed. For example, connect to VPN, open IE, close IE, open FF, and everything works accordingly. Disconnect the VPN, open IE, close IE, open FF and everything works as expected.
    Any insight you can provide would be appreciated as it is affecting our FF users and the sooner we can achieve resolution the better. As a note, we've also worked through this issue with WPAD and proxy auto-detect. I've intentionally removed these from the equation to simplify troubleshooting.
    Thanks

  • Can lync client use internet proxy settings to proxy edge servers, if direct access is not reachable?

    Hi everybody I am trying to Login with my lync Client out of my organization. So I am using lync as a remote user. I am in another organization, and I am using their coporate lan wired and wireless, but I cannot Login to lync in my organization.
    I see that I cannot Access my edge Server on port 443 to authenticate directly, I know that Client in this organization use Internet Proxy to browse the Internet. they have a .pac in their ie Settings.
    my question is; can lync Client use Internet Proxy Settings to reach the Destination? I mean the Access edge on port 443?
    or it can use only Client direct Access to reach the edge Servers?
    I Think that the answer is that I use tcp protocol and not http, and maybe that is the reason why I cannot use the Internet Explorer Proxy Settings to reach the Access edge Servers, different maybe is the case I Need to reach the reverse Proxy for live Meetings.
    Hope my question is clear.
    Thanks

    Proxy settings are used to tell Internet Explorer the network address of an intermediary server (known as a proxy server) that is used between the browser and the Internet on some networks.
    Lync client doesn’t use Internet Proxy Setting. You need to access the Edge service directly.

  • Why won't the proxy settings be created in the keychain access?

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with an iMac that won't keep the proxy settings saved. My company has proxy settings active to use the internet and for some reason they will not stick. I noticed that the keychain access is not creating this internet password and I also noticed it's only happening for a certain user only. In the administrator profile, the keychain is working perfectly fine so I narrow it down to the profile issue. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Network settings apply to all users on the system. Administrator privileges are required to change them.

  • How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?

  • What are the PROXY SETTINGS (port) for HP Photosmart printer 7520 ???

    CANNOT   FIND  THE  CORRECT  PORT  ( proxy  setting )  for  my
    HP  7520  Photosmart  PRINTER???

    Hi torino71,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to know which proxy settings to set for your HP Photosmart 7520. I was able to find a great thread from a fellow Community member windrunner123, see below:
    In some network setup, proxy settings may need to be configured on the printer to enable connection to the Internet.
    1. Make sure the printer is on a network and must have an IP address assigned by a Network Router or a DHCP server. Alternatively, you may also configure the printer to use a static IP address.  Check and retrieve the IP address of the printer from the Home Screen menu selection: Network -> View Network Summary -> View Wired (or View Wireless)  or Setup -> Network > View Network Summary (depending on printer model)
    2. In a web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to your printer.
    3. Go to the Network Tab > Proxy Settings and enter the proxy settings into the fields and click Apply button.  You may have to check with your ISP or IT Administrator for the correct Proxy Setting.
    As well as the port settings below you will want your router company to make sure that multicasting is enabled, bonjour protocol needs to be enabled, make sure that mac filtering is disabled, and have them check if there are any firmware updates for the router, and check firewalls on the router to make sure not blocking the communication
    The following ports are also used by your HP device and might need to be opened on your firewall configuration
    Incoming ports (UDP) are destination ports on the computer while outgoing ports (TCP) are destination ports on the HP device:
    Incoming (UDP) ports
    137, 138, 161, 427
    Outgoing (TCP) ports
    137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
    The ports are used for the following functions:
    Printing
    UDP ports 427, 137 161
    TCP port 9100
    Photo card upload
    UDP ports 137 138 427
    TCP 139
    Scanning
    UDP port 427
    TCP 9220, 9500
    Faxing
    UDP port 427
    TCP port 9220
    HP Device Installation
    UDP port 427
    Web Services
    80, 443, 5222 and 5223
    I hope this helps! If you have any more questions please let me know.

  • How to stop Quicktime using IE Proxy Settings

    Hi there,
    My company's Proxy Server (Microsft ISA Server) requires Windows Integrated authentication which Quicktime does not support so QT web access fails.
    We have a Winsock Proxy component installed on the clent but for this to come into play we need to configure Quicktime not to use IE Proxy Settings as otherwise QT tries to talk to the Proxy server and cannot authenticate.
    I have spent a number of hours looking into this but cannot find any way to do this. I know a lot of app's allow you to turn off using IE's Proxy settings and wanted to se if anyone knew how to do this with QT.
    Thanks in advance for any help on this,
    Ian
    Toshiba   Windows Vista  

    Why not just right-click and save the linked file to your computer?
    Open the .mp3 with any app you choose.
    You can disable the QuickTime plug-in from playing .mp3 files in a browser window by opening the QT Control Panel/Advanced and click the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for the .mp3 format and restart your browser for this change to take effect.

  • I did not get the answer to the proxy settings yet

    we have been working all evening trying to get my hp all-in-one printer working and have not succees yet some one  left me   i think

    Hello murphyett,
    I see that you have been having some issues getting your HP printer setup, regarding the proxy you will need, I would like to try and help.
    First, I will need to know the model number for the printer.
    Typically, this error is present when trying to setup the printer for Web Services, if your router has a proxy to put it, that is something your router support will need to help you with. If you router has no such settings, the printer may need to be setup with a manual I.P and DNS to clear this error up.
    Once I know the model of printer I will be able to further assist you.
    Regards,
    JERENDS
