Proxies??”If you have direct access to the Internet, you don??™t need to change any proxy
settings. However, if you need to access the Internet via a proxy server, you can identify
the location of that server (or servers) here. To access the Web via proxy servers, you
must explicitly identify the proxy server to use for each type of content you request
(HTTP, SSL, FTP, Gopher, or SOCKS). Set this from the Connections window on the
General tab.
HTTP Networking??”If you are using a proxy server, that proxy server may require that
you make HTTP requests using either HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 standards (1.1 is the default).
You can set which version of HTTP requests you should use. Set this from the Connections
window on the General tab.
Tabs??”Use these selections to control how Firefox uses tabs, one of the most useful
features of this browser.
Downloads??”Choose what you see during downloads from the Internet (a download
manager, a progress dialog box, or nothing).
