Just to update in the quest to build my own proxy browser, there are severe
issues (so far) getting vpn-based extensions to work in LibreWolf.
I was hoping to circumvent the LibreWolf hatred toward VPNs by using a
proxy extension in LibreWolf such as the FoxyRoxy extension.

That FoxyRoxy extension is supposed to be more useful than the LibreWolf

The problem isn't so much the configuration, but finding a usable proxy.
a. IP address or hostname of the proxy
b. Port number of the proxy
c. Protocol type: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 of the proxy
d. Authentication credentials (if required) of the proxy
You have to test each proxy to be sure they're working at any given time.
Luckily curl has been shipped with Microsoft Windows 10 for years now.
C:\> curl -x http://proxy.example.com:8080 http://ipinfo.io/ip
C:\> curl --proxy https://proxy.example.com:443 https://ipinfo.io/ip --proxy-insecure
Where some have a horrid response time so they're essentially useless.
C:\> curl -o /dev/null -s -w "Total time: %{time_total} seconds\n" http://example.com --proxy http://proxy.example.com:8080
But ncat will also test a prospective proxy to see if it's working.
<https://eternallybored.org/misc/netcat/>
<https://joncraton.org/blog/46/netcat-for-windows/>
<https://www.cyberly.org/en/download-netcat/index.html>
C:\> nc.exe --proxy proxy.example.com:3128 --proxy-type http example.com 80
C:\> nc.exe --proxy proxy.example.com:1080 --proxy-type socks5 example.com 80
The problem, of course, is if the proxy is in a public list, it's
already overloaded and therefore no longer accepting connections.
<https://github.com/proxifly/free-proxy-list>
<https://momoproxy.com/free-proxy-list>
<https://proxylib.com/free-proxy-list/us/>
<https://openproxylist.com/proxy/>
<https://free-proxy-list.net/en/>
<https://www.go2proxy.com/free>
<https://vpncentral.com/free-web-proxy/>
<https://geekflare.com/proxy/best-free-proxies/>
<https://proxyscrape.com/online-proxy-checker>
<https://checkerproxy.net/>
etc.
In summary, so far, everything is easy to add to LibreWolf to create
your own DIY private browser with vpn/proxy except the VPN/Proxy :(
If you know of a reliable stable working proxy, let us all know!
