    Hi,
    When i was using comodo dragon web browser i was able to use the comodo dns service just within the browser itself.

    Is it possible to implement the same within firefox and use a dns service just within firefox.?

    I know a simple solution would be to just use dragon instead but i actually like and prefer firefox.

    Any suggestions please.

    Thank You.

    Just change your DNS server settings under inernet options.

    That's odd. Doesn't it have some not so visible setting that allows you to define different DNS servers?

    No it appears not.
    It always reverts back to the isp,s dns whenever i change them within windows.
    I cannot find anything within the network interface to change them either.

    Thanks.

    After you change the dns create a desktop shortcut for that connection. Next time you try connecting to the internet using the shortcut you have created instead of the shortcut created by the software provided by your 3g service provider.

    @siljaline, just FYI thats for changing proxy settings not the DNS.

    Proxy vs DNS

    That would be correct, was simply adding that screengrab in the event the OP was not aware of these -
