Step 1
First of all you will need proxy servers (proxys) for your Internet Browser. You can get some free proxy servers for test here (http://freeproxylist.org/en/) or you can buy VIP access to have fastest and most stable public proxy servers here (http://freeproxylist.org/en/5-star-vip-proxy-socks-servers.htm).
Step 2
Good! You have proxy server(s), lets say that one is: 210.176.165.168:3128. Now you will need to start Firefox. Click on Tools (circle #1) menu and select Options (circle #2) in the list as shown below.

Foxy Proxy is totally different software (addon).
I will not suggest anyone use that addon since it is very complicated and designed for very professional users. I am working with proxy severs every day for last 8 years and even for me Foxy Proxy is very uncomfortable. Too much options are never used by 99% of user and are added (by owner) just to impress beginner users... most features are hard to reach and some even to find :) Nothing personal but before we created our own addon, we tried most available products on the market ;)
Instead I will suggest you to use Premium Proxy Switcher (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161958/) which is really easy and contains all features you will ever need (it misses proxy checking on client side but I think we will add it shortly ;))
Case you will have more question please ask
