Unfortunately this does not seem to work. For some obscure reason as
soon as a page contains stuff hosted at a site the proxy does not
like, all the firefox UI freezes waiting for the proxy to relay it (it
won't), instead of  recovering gracefully and processing the other
stuff (like it does on direct connexion when a website is dead)
