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.
