5 | # The purpose of this script is to open a session of firefox dedicated | |
6 | # to editing wikipedia from a remote machine with a public IP address | |
7 | # not on Wikipedia's blocklist. | |
8 | ||
9 | # This script: | |
10 | # 1. Creates ssh proxy to remote server | |
11 | # 2. Starts Firefox by calling a local installation of firefox via | |
12 | # its own startup script. | |
13 | ||
14 | # Note: This script does not automatically initialize the default | |
15 | # Firefox profile with the correct SOCKS5 settings as can be seen in | |
16 | # "Connection Settings" ("Manual proxy configuration", SOCKS | |
17 | # Host="127.0.0.1", Port="8080"). These changes must be made manually | |
18 | # until an automated method for applying SOCKS settings via edits to | |
19 | # `prefs.js` in the default Firefox profile. | |
