on client, from shell prompt:

    ssh -D 8080 -p <port> <IP address>

on client, in Firefox, under Advanced > Network > Connection Settings:

    select "Manual proxy configuration:"
    set SOCKS Host:  127.0.0.1
    set Port:  8080
    select "SOCKS v5"

Aside from a nonstandard port, the server machine's OpenSSH configuration
is basically default.  There is a firewall/router between the server
machine and the ISP.  The ISP is Comcast.

Using the proxy, trying to reach freebsd.org just gives me a blank page
and (Untitled) in the Firefox tab.
