Firefox Setup

Firefox offers built-in proxy configuration options, allowing you to set up a proxy directly within the browser. This means you don’t need to modify your system’s network settings—only Firefox will use the proxy connection. It’s a convenient option for private browsing, testing, or accessing region-specific content.

Firefox manual proxy setup

1. Launch Firefox and click the menu icon (☰), then go to Settings.

2. Scroll down until you find Proxy settings and click Configure proxy.

3. Choose Manual proxy configuration.

4. Enter your proxy details in the HTTP Proxy field.

   (Optional) Enable Use this proxy server for all protocols if you want all traffic routed through the proxy.

5. Click OK to save the configuration. Firefox will now route your connection through your InstantProxies IP.

Verify proxy connection in Firefox

After setup, you should confirm that the proxy is working correctly:

1. Open a new tab in Firefox.

2. Visit an IP-checking website such as:

   • https://whatismyipaddress.com
   • http://ip-check.net

3. Compare the displayed IP address with:

   • Your original (real) IP address
   • Your InstantProxies IP
     

If the IP shown is the same as your InstantProxies IP, then the configuration is successful.

Important note

When using residential rotating proxies, the assigned IP may update at intervals determined by your session length or rotation settings. This behavior is expected and controlled by your proxy configuration.
