Many a time when you are surfing the web you do not want your details to be revealed. Fire Fox 3.5 does have a provision for this in its privacy policy that asks your permission for providing your IP address, nearest wire less access point and your geographical location such as latitude and longitude. But if you are still using the older Fire Fox versions there is a way of securing your privacy and not reveal your private information. This way you will also be able to access sites that have blocked you permission or these sites may have been blocked by your own ISP or net work admin. The browser has to be configured to let you surf proxy.
To begin with you need the proxy server’s IP. This you can obtain by using google if you do not know.
In the “Tools” go to “options”. Now click on the icon of “Advanced”. And select “network”). In the window that appears go to “configure how fire fox connects to the internet” and click on “settings”
In the window of “connection Settings” that appears click on “manual proxy configuration” button to begin the procedure
In the “HTTP Proxy field” enter the field and its “port” number.
Click on “ok” and restart your fire fox.
This will enable you to surf proxy. When you want to revert to the original server’s IP address and when you come to the window of “connection settings”, click on the button “No Proxy” and then click “OK”.
