no idea what toolbox is, but proxychains supports only native, dynamically linked programs that are not containerized.

Even not containerized still does not work with Firefox 129.0 . ssh -D 1080 OpenSSH_9.6p1, OpenSSL 3.2.1 30 Jan 2024 HTTP3 is disabled in about:config

Yeah. Setting socks proxy settings in firefox to remote socks works fine. firefox --> [ proxychains --> ssh -D 1080] ---> address_of_remote_socks_set_in_firefox
