1. In your proxy portal, select the HTTP / SOCKS5 Proxy tab to view your HTTP proxy connection details.
2. In the upper-right corner of Firefox, click the menu button and select Settings from the dropdown menu.
Or in your address bar, enter about:preferences
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings page to find the Network Settings section. Click on the Settings... button.
4. In the Connection Settings pop-up window, select the Manual proxy configuration button.
5. In the HTTP Proxy field, enter the HTTP/HTTPS Proxy IP from your proxy portal, and set the port number to 8000. Check the box for Also use this proxy for HTTPS.
Alternately, if you are using EasyPort, enter the EasyPort URL and port number instead.
6. Click OK at the bottom.
7. Open a new tab, and you should see a small pop-up window asking for a username and password. Input the username and password as shown on your proxy portal and click Sign in. You should now be connected to your MobileHop proxy via HTTP.
If you want to bypass the username and password, you can set up IP Whitelisting in your proxy portal. See our IP Whitelisting guide for more details.
Socks5
Unfortunately, while Firefox's network settings do show fields for Socks5 proxy connection, Firefox does not support Socks5 with username and password. The easiest method to work around this is to use the FoxyProxy browser extension instead—see our FoxyProxy guide for more details.
If you still wish to connect via Socks5 through Firefox's network settings, it can be achieved by utilizing IP Whitelisting on your proxy portal to eliminate the need for proxy username and password. See our IP Whitelisting guide for more details, and fill in the SOCKS Host field in Firefox instead.
