How to use a Socks5 Proxy with authentification only on specified sites? Any Addons?

Hey, I want to use a Socks5 proxy that requires authentification but only on specified sites. Unfortunately, Foxyproxy does not support such proxies.

Is there an addon or some hidden Firefox feature that allows this?

Hey,

FoxProxy does support SOCKS and i think you can do the above mentioned using Use proxies based on their predefined pattern option.

It does, but not servers that require you to log in with username+password.

If you can't find anything better... you could download the portable version of Firefox and use that for sites you need the Proxy for.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm looking for a convenient way to avoid blocked content on YouTube and co. I figured this would be superior to all those unblocker extensions since I have access to a fast proxy anyway.
