#. Open Firefox.
|
|
|
|
#. Enter ``about:config`` in the URL bar. Accept any warnings that may appear about accessing advanced settings.

|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
sudo wget -P /etc/tor https://registry.start9labs.com/sys/proxy.pac
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|

file:///etc/tor/proxy.pac

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/>`_. |
