Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

Title says it all..It's just like any firefox, few extensions, nothing much different...Anyone know why?

It's not working in the way that...
When i go to http://www.whatismyip.com, it shows my real IP and my NTL proxy instead of my chosen one..

does ie say any different? i'd tend to believe it... :shrug:

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

Have you made sure that the proxy is set to use port 8080? Sounds like you could have it set to use port 80.

Working in Firefox here using port 8080

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

I use the SwitchProxy extension with several proxies set in it. Makes it easy to switch from no proxy to any of the ones in the list. Just have to right click the proxy info in the bottom right of the status bar and click on the one you wish to use.

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

I use switchproxy also, but i have the same problem. Even with port 8080 in IE & firefox.. :(

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

Right dude (kid ;)) have you tried disabling/removing SwitchProxy and using the normal proxy settings?

Also, I have the Prefbar extension, which lets you turn proxies on and off quickly.

SwitchProxy once hung FF totally to the extent it wouldn't load on mine, so I had to remove. A lot of the actual data is held remotely I think.

And 12... that takes some doing. You must be the youngest on here and by some margin too.

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

I installed switchproxy because it didn't work before..

And yeah, I'm pretty young... :p

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

Dunno what to suggest then kiddo. Is it just firefox related?

If it is, then try wiping FF, plus your profile directory, and re-installing from scratch. It may well be something's corrupted.

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

so you have the same problem in IE as well... this suggests it is not browser related....

Have you tried using other sites that detect your proxy, for example- www.all-nettools.com has a proxy test that you can use (click on toolbox iirc)

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

Still doesn't find the proxy i've configured.. Tried another proxy, same..

Re: Proxies not working in firefox 1.04
 

It's the ntl proxies that cause the problem ...

Go and take a look at my PC and use that proxy.

It's about the only one I have found that is reliable.

Stupid NTL proxies, not doing what they're supposed to..
