Allow a specific page to be the web proxy for Firefox [Feature Request]

more options

I'm trying, unsuccessfully, for some time to use a service I'm hosting on my local IIS to be the web proxy for my Firefox. Whether or not the service is done well is unimportant - the service is never called. So I assume (and it looks like I'm not the only one - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1123019#answer-877169 ) that Firefox can only accept a server name, not a specific url.

Can this functionality be added to Firefox?

In the short run, you should be able to accommodate the way Firefox works. Did you place your proxy page in its own folder, given it a typical default page name (e.g., index.aspx), and define a new "website" in IIS manager for it? I think such a "website" can be assigned its own port (if not its own address).

Thanks. What am I supposed to do to leverage it having its own port in order for it to be considered a "server"?

Firefox's manual proxy settings take a server hostname/address and a port number.
