Firefox and Proxies
At work, IE is the official browser, but I like Firefox better. The problem is that I get these proxy errors when I try to use FF even though the proxy settings look resonable in the setup. IT can't help since IE is the only browser they can support.
So if I have IE running with proxy servers, how do I configure FF to run on the same servers? (All I see in IE is the Connection S/U, but not the actual proxies, but I do have a proxy server name in the FF field.)) |

Re: Firefox and Proxies
Depends on the setup - it may be impossible. If the proxy servers are using Windows authentication (silently passing your Windows login credentials to the proxy server rather than popping up a username/password box), only IE will work. If the proxies aren't authenticating, then FF will "just work" once you have the proxy address entered.
Disclaimer... it's years since I worked on this stuff! |

Re: Firefox and Proxies
My issues seem more simple - just connecting to the internet - I keep gettng invalid proxy error. Like I said, the proxy server in the FF field looks right. Can I pull the right proxy server from IE settings?

Re: Firefox and Proxies
What do you mean by "looks right"? It's either right or wrong... if it's wrong, you won't get any content returned. The only settings you need for a standard proxy server are proxy server address and port to connect to. That is all.

I mean there's not some jibberish in there - the PS address contains the street address of the building I'm in, so it makes sense - i.e. it looks legit.
