Using Firefox from KTC117

I just figured out how to use other browsers from room 117 in KTC. These wireless laptops are configured to use IE over a proxy.

The network uses an automatic configuration script for internet access via our proxy.

To configure Firefox...

Tools > Options... > Advanced > Network > (Connection) Settings... > select "Automatic proxy configuration URL" and paste this link in the field:
http://www.kanazawa-it.ac.jp/proxy-cf.pac

After that, you shouldn't have any problems using other browsers here in this lab!

Other browsers are necessary for Blogger Beta, rich-text edits on moodle, and perhaps even use of certain plug-ins and updating what's available as add-ons.
