I have a custom made desktop application which connects to the internet directly.Is there any possibility(even using a 3rd party program) to redirect my app's http request through Firefox and exactly how? Thanks

hello, i'm not exactly sure what you mean by "connect to the internet through Firefox". do you want to always open a link/page in firefox or run inside firefox? i don't think that your app can establish a connection to the web through firefox, this functionality is provided by the operating system & firefox is relying on that too...
