Firefox proxy help
I have been using Firefox for years and I love it. I just started a graduate program by distance learning, and I need to set up a proxy server to access research materials online. I only want to use the proxy for that, not for general browsing. Do I need to install a second browser for the proxy? Can I install Firefox twice in one computer for this purpose? How do I do this? I can't find any info online about this, so I'm not optimistic, but any advice would be appreciated! Thanks gurus! Oh, BTW WinXP Pro, Firefox 2.0.0.6.
There's nothing like answering your own question! I found a Firefox plugin called FoxyProxy that seems to be the no proxy/proxy/multiple proxies switching king. I figured out how to use it in about 30 minutes, and I have next to no clue about proxies.
