Hey guys,

I think that my question is clear from the title :D ... but i will explain it.

I'm trying to make a program to change Proxy IP . I made it to change Google Chrome and Internet Explorer Proxy but Firefox Proxy didn't change.

I tried to change Firefox Proxy from :

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref

but I can't change the proxy so please, help me to edit Firefox Proxy settings using C#

As far as I know, you cannot dynamically change the proxy IP during a Firefox session by editing a file. However, you could modify a file and have it take effect in the next Firefox session.

What file did you place in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref? Were you setting up an Autoconfig: Customize Firefox using AutoConfig

Why do you want to do this with C#? Wouldn't it be easier to use Group Policy?

@jscher2000. Thanks for the response. Using C# because I am developing for an external client and access to group policy isn't easier to get.
