We’ve discussed various proxy servers you can use to protect your privacy before, but maybe you’re not sure where to find these settings in Firefox. Simply go to Tools -> Options -> General tab -> Connection Settings button. Sometimes you may need to put in addresses to exclude in your Firefox proxy settings. For example, if you want to exclude the address for Google Desktop Search you would put in 127.0.0.1:4664. Now, if you have more than one of these types of addresses, you need to separate them with a comma. I stress this because Internet Explorer uses semicolons to separate it’s addresses. So be very careful if you are copying your addresses from one browser to another.
