I need to use a socks5 proxy to connect to the internet. I have it configured properly in FireFox but when I use a plugin that loads a Flash app it bypasses the proxy and tries to make a direct connection and fails.

Hi,

Please note that though Firefox and its plugin-container.exe fully respects the set proxy settings, all plugins may not do that. Please see this (5 of 8).
