But I'm still not finished yet :) Now, I added a parent proxy and proxy-authentication to the forwarding proxy configuration, and the new problem is, that when I use the instance as proxy now, I'm prompted for authentication for every host I visit/connect to. It looks like the browser (Firefox) sees the proxy authentication as basic HTTP authentication on every site.
