Using the firewall as a web proxy.

I want to configure my Sophos Firewall so that only Firefox can access the internet from a PC, and all traffic must go through the Sophos explicit web proxy (configured on port 3128). Direct HTTP/HTTPS traffic from the PC should be blocked entirely.

When I configure Firefox to use the proxy, web pages are blocked unless direct HTTP/HTTPS traffic (ports 80/443) from the PC to the WAN is allowed. This defeats the purpose of forcing traffic through the proxy. If I block ports 80 and 443, the proxy stops working even though traffic to port 3128 is explicitly allowed.

What am i missing?

Thanks
