Where do I set my proxy credentials?
I'm on version 54.0.1, Windows 7 ult SP1 and no addons. Where the heck do I save my proxy credentials? I'm never prompted for them so firefox won't connect to anything (as my proxy denies me entrance)
I tried the solution @ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926378 to no avail

There is nothing about credentials in the network tab. That is exactly the issue I'm experiencing.
Maybe I'm daft but in the certificate tab I have it set to ask for credentials everytime, however I'm not getting asked.
What kind of proxy is it?
SOCKS5 from private internet access
Ah.
Watch this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122752
You can try something like this, but Firefox doesn't support SOCKS5 proxies with authentication, so you need to create a tunnel to your proxy and set up Firefox to use that tunnel.

FoxyProxy can do SOCKS5 with authentication: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/
Unfortunately this means you will not be able to update to 57, and will have to stick with 56 until Firefox adds SOCKS5 authentication support either natively, or to WebExtensions.
