How to Modify Mozilla Firefox to Hide the IP

Modify Firefox using proxies and connection setting to hide your IP address.

Proxies enable you to surf the Internet and hide your IP address. This helps you visit websites where you have been banned, or it prevents websites from knowing your IP address. Proxies take you to a website but won't list your IP address. Only the proxy information is listed, enabling you to surf with complete anonymity. Add proxies manually or by using a Firefox plugin. Both of these solutions enable you to surf the Internet anonymously.

Instructions

1. Enable manual proxies in Firefox by accessing the connection settings in Firefox. Turn on your manual proxies by selecting "Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings." Enter your proxy address and port number in the Manual Proxy Configuration section.

2. Download the AutoProxy plugin by accessing the Firefox Addons page. To access the Firefox Addons page, open Firefox. Select "Tools > Addons > Get Addons." Type "Autoproxy" in the search box. Select it and choose "Add to Firefox > Install Now." Restart Firefox so you can use the proxy.

3. Download the Proxilla plugin by accessing the Firefox Addons page. To access the Firefox Addons page, open Firefox. Select "Tools > Addons > Get Addons." Type "Proxilla" in the search box. Select it and choose "Add to Firefox > Install Now." Restart Firefox so you can use the proxy.
