Subject: Clarification on Adding Username and Password to Proxy Settings

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek clarification regarding the configuration of proxy settings in Firefox. Specifically, I would like to understand how to include a username and password along with the IP and port address when configuring a proxy server.

Currently, I can enter the IP and port address in the network settings, but I am unsure how to include authentication details, such as a username and password, for proxies that require them. Is this feature natively supported in Firefox, and if so, could you please guide me through the steps to set it up?

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards, Emmanuel

Proxy settings and how to input correct logins should come from whomever your getting your proxy settings to use.

Does Firefox ask for the credentials if you specify IP and port address (i.e. does it detect that you need to authenticate)?
