Hi,

Is it possible to force firefox to use the WPAD.dat file stored locally in the drive. I cant seem to find any options for that. I am on Windows 10?

I am using firefox 90.0.2 (64 bit)

Thanks for the help guys.

Is that a Proxy Auto-Configuration file? To modify Firefox's proxy settings:

  • Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Settings (previously "Options")
  • Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
  • Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
  • Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Settings" button, which you can click.

Here you could try entering the path to your file for the "Automatic proxy configuration URL" -- it would be a file: protocol URL similar to

file:///c:/proxy.pac

Is that what it's for?

Note network.proxy.type = 4 for WPAD.
