After installing ATF, opening URL fails. Since I'm behind a firewall I guess I need to configure the proxy. How?

hi Froq,
unfortunately ATF doesn't provide any UI for proxy configuration at the
moment, however you're not totally lost.

Since we're based on XULRunner, ATF creates a separate profile in your
home directory: <home>/.mozilla/eclipse
There you'll find prefs.js file with all preferences. For example proxy
preferences can look like this:

user_pref("network.proxy.http", "150.254.6.139");
user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);

If you're on Windows, then it should be <home>\Application
Data\.mozilla\eclipse, however I didn't tested that.

I have also created following bug, to fix this:
301424: Integrated browser should use proxy settings as configured in
Eclipse
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=301424

thanks

Jacek
