How to Set Up and Use a Firefox Proxy for Better Privacy? or Is a Firefox Proxy the Best Way to Brows

Had this exact headache last month!

Turns out my router was blocking outbound proxy ports. Logged into it and whitelisted the ports—fixed instantly.

Also, some proxies need auth credentials in the URL (like user:pass@proxy.com). Missed that at first.

For testing, webshare.io has free proxies with auth built in.
