I am trying to set up a proxy to run through firefox but am very new to this.
hello i am trying to currently configure Firefox to run through a proxy but am having some difficulties. i am very new to this and have been searching for some or any information regarding to how to set this all up but have found nothing. i have found guides that simply say this is this and that is that but nothing really explaining any of the process. every guide i seem to find is from the perspective of a professional and starts off assuming the reader is very adept at the whole process. i know that this is not really a problem with Firefox i was just wondering if i could get some assistance.
thank you for you time.

If you don't use a proxy, then you can safely select No Proxy. I don't expect that to have any impact on performance if you weren't using a proxy in the first place.
The remaining options merely control how the proxy is set, not how fast the proxy is.
For more details, see the following links.
Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server Firefox will try to determine the optimal cache size based on available disk space. There's no need to configure it manually. On the contrary, setting the cache to a very large size can actually decrease performance if many small files end up being cached.
When you post a new question or a reply, you're automatically subscribed to e-mail updates. You can control this by expanding the Question Tools section in the top right and clicking "Get Email Updates" or "Stop Email Updates" (depending on whether you're subscribed to updates or not).
What reasons do you have for using a proxy?
A proxy can slow down loading of pages and can also pose a security and privacy risk because this proxy sees all traffic and possibly names and passwords you enter on a website.
