While using PIA VPN, Firefox Quantum won't load any web pages. Chrome continue to work fine. I tried resetting Firefox, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling, but never fixed this. Is anyone else currently *able* to use PIA and Firefox Quantum? Or have suggestions of what to do?

If this is what you are talking about https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/hc/en-us/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=Firefox&commit= They have a support page : We do not currently offer a Private Internet Access extension for FireFox, however, Foxy Proxy can be setup to use our SOCKS5 proxy server. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

In the old Firefox, I did not need an extension to run PIA. I don't run PIA through the browser, but rather through my computer (I believe this is referred to as the TCP/IP interface level?)

The developer of FoxyProxy states "Firefox 57+ is significantly different than previous Firefox versions. I was forced to re-write 10 years of mature FoxyProxy code from scratch." I would assume that using FoxyProxy at this point, there may be bugs not yet worked out and would there add an additional layer of vulnerabilities.

My preference, of course, would be to continue using PIA as before -- an app run on my computer. As I mentioned, I can still use Chrome browser, but Firefox no longer works.
