found<<file if file =~ /firefox.*default\/prefs.js$/
end
newproxy = '"new.proxy.com");'
newfile = File.open("temp", "w")

Hi,

Thanks for your help.
I tried to run your script but, I am getting following error:

/usr/bin/env: ruby -w: No such file or directory


Please help.

Thanks,

you have to install ruby if you want to use the script. otherwise, wait for someone else for alternative
