#. Download a ``Proxy Auto Config`` file to inform Firefox how to use the Tor daemon running on your computer. Click `here <https://start9.com/assets/proxy.pac>`_ to get the one offered by Start9 and save it somewhere you will not delete it. Remember where you save the file. For this example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block::
|
||||
|
||||
C:\Program Files\Tor Browser\proxy.pac
|
||||
|
||||

#. Test that Firefox can resolve `.onion` URLs by visiting Start9's Tor website: http://privacy34kn4ez3y3nijweec6w4g54i3g54sdv7r5mr6soma3w4begyd.onion. If this does not work, go through this guide again, ensuring you followed every step, including the first which refers to another guide
