Firefox can talk to a unix socket. In your proxy settings specify the socket.
E.g., it is how you can more safely proxy through tor (which also can listen on a socket), with firefox running inside a network name space without access to a network interface. Things like webrtc cannot leak your real IP.
- kortilla 5y agoOp means typing a socket into the address bar. Using a socket for proxying is not the same thing.
- nine_k 5y agoIt's still strictly better than no way at all! Using something like OmegaSwitcher, it's easy to configure some DNS suffix like `.local.test` to be mapped to local Unix sockets. Not as easy as built-in support, but at least doable.
- foresto 5y agoI don't see a field for this in the Connection Settings dialog. Where do you type the socket name/path?
