I want to install my own browser, firefox portable with plugins to let me switch proxys quickly. No other browsers work on my school computers? its as if theres no internet connection. The only one that works is IE, leading me to believe theres some security thing on it, as our net is 'protected' by the 'herts grid' anyway.

Anyway to get around this?

when installing firefox you can import the settings from IE.. it will also import the proxy settings and should work

You should be able to install normal FF in C:\Temp even without privilidges and then you could try if setup would copy the proxy settings too.
