Hi there.
Just a simple basic tutorial on how to set up multiple proxy profiles with firefox.
Why This Tutorial?
Because even though common knowledge for most some people don't know how to and I promised a couple guys I would write this.
Now obviously this is if you have like 10-20 (or whatever amount you want to do manually) proxies and you doing things manually otherwise you would be better off to use some bot like Jarvee to manage your accounts.
Let's Start
For this tutorial I will be using Firefox. I know there are some proxy switcher plugins for chrome but this method suits my workflow the best.
Setting Up Profiles
So install Firefox if you hadn't already and once the firefox shortcut is on your screen, right click it and press properties.
Under the tab Shortcut you will see after the target something like this: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
Now type behind it -p -no-remote so it looks like this "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p -no-remote and press Apply-OK pressing OK directly usually works fine too.
Now double click the Firefox shortcut and you will see something like this:
Click Create Profile>Next and put whatever name you want in there but don't uses spaces or weird symbols, for this TUT I made a profile name bhw, press Finish and then Exit.
Now rightclick the Firefox shortcut again and select create shortcut.
Now you see an other Firefox shortcut named firefox - Shortcut (2)
Right click it again>Properties and you will see this again "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p -no-remote
Now change the path to your profile name so it looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p bhw -no-remote press Apply>OK
Rename the firefox - Shortcut (2) to whatever you want (right click>rename or 2 slow left clicks)
Once all of that is done double click the shortcut to open the browser.
Importing The Proxy
If you've done everything correctly the shortcut will open a complete new browser profile. Every add-on or setting you add in that browser will be unique to that profile.
Now to import the proxy click the hamburger menu and options.
Scroll down to Network Proxy and press settings.
This screen will popup, don't mind the numbers I just randomly put it there.
Select Manual proxy configuration and enter the proxy IP and behind Port the User port and press OK.
If all is set correctly every time you open your edited Browser or want to connect to the internet it will ask for your login data unless you ticked "Do not prompt for authentication if password is saved"
That's it.
I find this way pretty handy because each profile has it's own site shortcuts and cookies.
When it comes to addons that's up to you but I always install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/happy-bonobo-disable-webrtc/ one on all profiles as JS can leak your real IP.
When it comes to proxies I usually use proxies from my own country closest to me unless I need to bypass GEO block or something.
Hope some of you will find it useful. As said, there are many methods but for this purpose it fits me best.
