Add documentation on how to use the advanced proxy feature

Open DanitiKain opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

  1. can you make it easier to add proxy to this tool. Proxy Container app makes it nice and easy to know what type of proxy you are setting. In multi-account you have to know the correct synctax for the type so for example socks://ip or domain: port - I was trying to figure out how do I do socks5 and this worked but I don't know if its using socks5 version.
  2. can you take some of the functions from temporary containers and add it into this like new links clicked open in temporary containers and we can decide if we want to move them to the container we are in or create a new one for that domain.

another reason is these extensions are no longer being maintained as the firefox multi-account containers is coming close to replacing them so its only natural to add their features in.

Temporary Container is actively maintained.

This is a duplicate of #929

We could definitely add this information to our documentation at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers. I'll change this issue's title to reflect that it only tracks this.

In the meantime, the syntax for the proxy is type://username:password@hostname:port. The type can be http, https or socks. The username and password is optional. Here's a few example:

  • http://myproxydomainname:3221
  • socks://bob:hf7s2#ds7@myproxydomainname:3221
