1. Open Firefox and browse some http/https, ftp websites. (eg: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/ http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html http://ftp.mozilla.org/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/ )
 - The browsing goes smooth
2. Go to Options (Preferences) /Advanced/Network/Settings
3. Check ‘Manual proxy configuration’ option
4. Write a HTTP proxy (eg. IP: 62.253.249.48) and Port (eg. Port: 8080), then hit Ok
   (Here is a list of free proxy servers http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy-list/ For a faster browsing experience choose a proxy from your country. There may be some proxy servers that will not work, if you encounter one of those simply choose another one)
5. Browse some http/https, ftp websites. (eg: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/ http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html http://ftp.mozilla.org/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/ )

7. Check ‘Automatic proxy configuration URL:’ option

We won't use any free proxy for our tests. Please see bug 1060624 for a proxy setup by ourselves which can reach mozqa.com for testing. This bug will be blocked on it. Also all remote pages should be loaded from mozqa.com

Moving to Firefox UI tests since Mozmill is being dropped out.

There was no more request for getting those tests added, and ftp is not really an option anymore. Also Firefox UI tests are going away soon.
