I've been playing around with SSH trying to tunnel all my web traffic through SSH. SSH session works and listens on the specified port but I can't seem to get the browser setup correctly.

Using the following:
ssh -D 8080 -f -C -q -N [username]@[host]

Tried to edit the proxy configuration on the browser with about:config. I can specify the socks proxy IP (127.0.0.1) but when I try to specify the port it won't let me change the value from 0.

Anyone else have any better luck?

Thanks
