How to configure Proxy settings in Firefox Browser
Open Firefox browser and open preferences window by selecting the menu as shown below. Press “Edit” in the menu bar and then press “Preferences” item in the menu.
This opens up Firefox’s preferences window. In that select “Network” tab under “Advanced” section as shown below.
Then press the “Settings” button to open “Connection Settings” window as shown in the below diagram.
If you have proxy server IP address and port number, just select “Manual proxy configuration” option and enter them in HTTP proxy and port text fields respectively. If you use exactly same proxy for all connections like HTTPS, FTP etc then select “Use proxy server for all protocols” option. Otherwise you can enter those details.
If you have proxy configuration URL instead of IP address and port, you can configure it by selecting “Automatic proxy configuration URL” option.
If your proxy server expects you to authenticate, the Browser will prompt you for login credentials when you attempt to browse for the first time.

Also don’t forget to configure your local network in the “No proxy for” text box of “Connection Settings” window to avoid porxy. Otherwise accessing web server in your local network also will go through proxy server and makes the access slow especially if you are downloading huge files from local wiki or software servers.
