Disable the HTTP proxy

Many web browsers are configured to use an HTTP proxy server to increase the download speed of web pages.
To manage or configure the Firebox X Edge e-Series, your browser must connect directly to the Edge. If you
use an HTTP proxy server, you must temporarily disable the HTTP proxy setting in your browser. You can
reenable the HTTP proxy server setting in your browser after you set up the Edge.
Use these instructions to disable the HTTP proxy in Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer. If you are using a
different browser, use the browser Help system to find the necessary information. Many browsers
automatically disable the HTTP proxy feature.
