Setting up Firefox with Tor on MacOS
|

************************************
|

|

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

|
||
|
||
#. Next, download the `Proxy Auto Config` file. This file tells Firefox which URLs to use for Tor.
|
||
|
||
#. 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
|
||
|
||
#. Open your Firefox web browser, and select preferences:

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

|
||
#. This should open a menu that will allow you to configure your proxy settings. Select `Automatic proxy configuration URL` and paste in:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block::
|
||
|
||
file:///usr/local/etc/tor/proxy.pac
|
||
|
||
#. Then, check the box labeled `Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5`:

|
||
|
||
#. Click ``OK`` and then restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
|
||
|
||
#. You’re 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/>`_. |
