Hi,

To set up a proxy for firefox (geckodriver) using Python Selenium, follow these steps:

proxy = '8.8.8.8:1080'

firefox_capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True

firefox_capabilities['proxy'] = {
"proxyType": "MANUAL",
"httpProxy": proxy,
"ftpProxy": proxy,
"sslProxy": proxy
}

driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)
