FireFox - Have your Socks proxy do DNS lookups instead of your PC

There is an option in FireFox called network.proxy.socks_remote_dns that will determine whether DNS lookups are to be done on the SOCKS proxy server or client.

In FireFox go to about:config and double click to turn this option on (TRUE) or off (FALSE).

Note: if every time you open Firefox, the proxy settings configuration is empty after you set it and you notice Firefox does not keep the previously information that you put in, please see:
