**************************************
Setting up Firefox with Tor on Desktop
**************************************
.. warning::
This guide assumes you have completed :ref:`setting up Tor<running-tor>`. Please visit this section first before you proceed as it is required for Firefox to properly work with Tor.
1. Open Firefox.
2. Enter ``about:config`` in the URL bar. Accept any warnings that may appear about accessing advanced settings.
3. Search for ``dom.securecontext.whitelist_onions`` and set the value to ``true``.

On Windows, use the following proxy config file instructions:
#. Download a `Proxy Auto Config` file that will use the Tor service to resolve .onion urls. We have one hosted `here <https://registry.start9labs.com/sys/proxy.pac>`_. Save it somewhere you wont delete it. For this example:
.. code-block::
C:\Program Files\Tor Browser\proxy.pac
On Mac, use the following proxy config file instructions:
#. Open the `Terminal` App on your Mac. You can find it in your list of Applications.
#. Enter into the terminal:
.. code-block::
brew install wget
#. And then:
.. code-block::
wget -P /usr/local/etc/tor https://registry.start9labs.com/sys/proxy.pac
On Linux, use the following proxy config file instructions:
#. Create a `Proxy Auto Config` file (advanced) or use our standard one (recommended):
#. From a terminal, enter:
.. code-block::
sudo wget -P /etc/tor https://registry.start9labs.com/sys/proxy.pac
4. Now open your Firefox web browser, and select options (Windows), or preferences (Mac/Linux):

Select :menuselection:`Settings --> Options`
5. Search for the term “proxy” in the search bar in the upper right, then select the button that says `Settings…`:

:width: 80%
:alt: Firefox search screenshot
6. This should open a menu that will allow you to configure your proxy settings. Select `Automatic proxy configuration URL` and paste in the path to your PAC file from earlier, prefixed with ``file://``. For example:
Windows:
.. code-block::
file://C:/Program Files/Tor Browser/proxy.pac
Mac:
.. code-block::
file:///usr/local/etc/tor/proxy.pac
Linux:
.. code-block::
file:///etc/tor/proxy.pac
7. Then, check the box labeled `Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5`:
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/firefox_proxy.png

8. Click ``OK`` and then restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
9. Youre all set! You should now be able to navigate to `.onion` URLs in Firefox. This means you can bookmark Cups Messenger, and use your Bitwarden Tor address in the `Bitwarden Firefox Plugin <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/>`_.
