When using the Firefox browser, you can follow the steps below to set the proxy IP and let the browser use the proxy server for network requests.
**Step 1: Open Firefox browser settings**
Click the menu button in the upper right corner of your browser (usually the button consisting of three horizontal lines), and then select the "Options" or "Options" option.
**Step 2: Enter network settings**
In the browser settings interface, select the "General" or "General" tab. Then scroll down in the tab to find the "Network Settings" or "Network Settings" section and click the "Settings" or "Settings" button.
**Step 3: Configure proxy server**
In the network settings pop-up window, select the "Manual proxy configuration" or "Manual proxy configuration" option.
**Step 4: Enter proxy server information**
In the "HTTP Proxy" or "HTTP Proxy" field, enter the IP address or domain name of the proxy server. In the "Port" or "Port" field, enter the port number of the proxy server.
**Step 5: Select proxy server type**
When selecting the proxy server type, you can select "HTTP Proxy", "SSL Proxy" or "FTP Proxy" according to the type of proxy server. Normally, using "HTTP Proxy" can meet most proxy needs.
**Step Six: Save and Apply Changes**
After completing entering the proxy server information, click the "OK" or "OK" button to save the settings. The browser will start using the configured proxy server for network requests.
Important note: Before setting up a proxy server, you need to obtain valid proxy server information. You can obtain the proxy server's IP address and port number from your proxy service provider. Make sure you enter the correct proxy server information to ensure the proxy settings work properly.
Note that different Firefox versions may result in slightly different names and locations of menu options. If you can't find a specific option, please refer to the relevant documentation or ask Firefox Support for help.
