How to use a pac file (automatic config proxy) for zotero 6

faR1234

I have zotero 6 and I can't connect or sync with my zotero on linux (in my organization, I'm no sudoer). I also can't update zotero.

I suspect the problem comes from the proxy,

In firefox, to connect to internet I'm in mode
"automatic configuration from an adress"
http://pac-***.fr/
which leads to a .pac file

I also start chome in terminal with :
google-chrome --no-sandbox --proxy-pac-url=http://pac-***.fr/

I saw that it was possible (on former version of zotero ?) to add a pac file, but I have no idea where to find it and fill in zotero 6:

Network.proxy.type = 2 (Proxy auto-configuration PAC)
Network.proxy.autoconfig_url pointing to my PAC file
signon.autologin.proxy = true

Thanks a lot for any kind of help,
I could find any documentation, sorry if I wasn't thourough enough in my investigations and missed something,

Zotero version 6.0.15

Zotero should use a PAC file configured in your system settings automatically.

You only need to change the prefs in Zotero if you want to use different settings in Zotero or you're using WPAD, in which case you do that from the Config Editor in the Advanced pane of the preferences (which is the same as about:config in Firefox):

Oh, yeah, I finally managed. My main problem was actually to *find* the Config Editor!!
Once the three are set, it works!
