Since people use proxies to hide themselves I'm not sure if anybody is going to be too willing to give up some secrets.

Google it. See what you come up with on your own.

It's hard to tell you where you went wrong if you don't explain what you did.
Make sure your proxie list is recent and fresh, or that you have a paid proxy subscription (yes these do exist for commercial reasons, think china)
Ping the proxy server on the appropriate port to see if it responds.

Assuming the server is live, enable the proxy extension with said server and try to find a page that will spit back your IP at you. http://www.whatismyip.com/ come to mind. If the IP it lists is the proxy's IP, then your good to go.

the thing is is that i dont know what i did wrong. I downloaded the extension from Mozilla forums; i got the proxy button on the screen; when i right click the mouse, i can see 'switch proxy'. but it doesnt do zippo.

I am going to read the suggestions above and then report back. thanks guys.

I don't understand why you're even downloading an extension. Why not just go to Tools -> Options -> General -> Connection Settings and put a manual configuration in?

If this doesn't work, we need a lot more info to help. Verify port # and you might even need to know what type of proxy it is.

Good advice. thanks. but i have another question. I did as you suggested but now have four choices to choose from from the manual configuration:
1. HTTP Proxy
2. SSL Proxy
3. FTP Proxy
4. Gopher Proxy
5. Socks Proxy

I'm not a technical guy at all. I use pen and paper and just plain word processing.

Which of the above proxy seting do i change?

btw, all those 5 proxies have the same addresses.

thanks

First try http proxy. If it doesn't work, then try Socks proxy.
FTP proxy uses port 21, SSL port 22. Notice in the proxy list of the recomended site how each listed server includes a port #? That's what services that server can provide a proxy for.
Web page proxying is done over 80 and 8080. These are the survers you want for browsing anon.
There has to be a setup program for your proxy plugin to allow you to give it lists of proxy servers to try and their relavant ports. Look at what documentation you can find on the developers site.

ok, what am i screwing up now? I changed the http and the FTP with the corresponding port number. What i get now are time outs.

Please bear with me. I am beyond the computer generation era so tinkering around with codes and stuff is beyond me. thanks

Try checking to option that uses the same proxy for all protocols. See if that works.

How can you be sure that the proxies listed are legal? I mean, its a class II felony under certain cirumstances...

I often wonder about Steganos too -- where are they pulling their proxy lists from?
