I have no problem when Using HTTP proxy servers and have no problem when direct connecting to internet without proxy.

Hi mojtaba20012003, It is possible to change the way Firefox connects to the internet. In the Preferences/Options menu > Advanced > Network> Settings. Make sure here the proxy configuration matches the preferences for Socks.

If you have any questions, or if this does not help, please let us know.
