| | 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. |
