[Rafael Akchurin]

The following line set in the Script Address box of the browser proxy configuration will help - no need for a PAC file for quick tests. Be sure to adjust the proxy name and port.

data:,function FindProxyForURL(u, h){return "HTTPS proxy.example.lan:8443";}

I believe you can use the FoxyProxy add-on to manage this too.
