I trying to set a ssh proxy.. For tests matter I'm using my local desktop, as I can change sshd configurations all in one place

Then set my firefox proxy to localhost on port 8080 (all protocols) and checked the SOCK5 buttom selected.
Once I enter www.google.com on firefox and it justs show me a blank page
In the Firefox proxy settings, you'll need to ensure that none of the rows except for SOCKS is configured. Firefox is trying to connect to your SOCKS server as if it were an HTTP proxy, and failing.
