#. Click ``OK`` and restart Firefox
#. 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
#. You can now use the `.onion` URLs of your server and installed services
