For anyone wondering, yes, Firefox on Android is very different from desktop Firefox.  This is especially true for setting up the proxy.

## Clearing Cache

First, go to the menu by pressing the button with three vertical dots.

Then go to the settings.

On the settings page, select `Clear private data`.

Make sure that the cache option is checked and then select `clear data`.

Once you have cleared data, exit the settings screen and type in `about:config` in the address bar.

In this area, search for `network.proxy.type` and give it a value of 2.  This lets Firefox know that you want to use a pac file for your proxy.

Then search for `network.proxy.autoconfig_url` and set it to be `https://pac.tjhsst.edu`.

## Test it Out

To test this out, go to `accessscience.com`.  You should see a prompt for a username and password pop up.  When prompted, put in the login information you would use to access Ion.

![Example prompt](https://1387849666-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LOujpwpsPzbFQLluKss%2F-LmzArp0GCfP3nzl8zUN%2F-LmzDMNGjc1u0Le66OJb%2Ffirefoxandroid-8.png?alt=media\&token=b0c02c5b-b321-4b65-a504-f7238ca2734c)

When you reach Access Science, press the menu button or the three horizontal lines and you should see Thomas Jefferson High School
