When intercept is turned on, Burp Suite should be intercepting the request. The request should appear in the Proxy "Intercept" tab. It sounds like you are able to see the request in this tab. We have two tutorial pages to help you use Burp Proxy within our Support Center, have you checked these out? - https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/articles/1783118-getting-started-with-burp-proxy - https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/articles/1783119-using-burp-proxy For new users we also recommend that you follow all of our tutorial articles to gain a better understanding of Burp Suite - https://support.portswigger.net/.

Hey. I can say I have the same problem. I've configured the proxy listener on Byrp (127.0.0.1:8080) and I manually set the same configuration on Firefox ESR. Burp worked for a while but now, if I try to intercept (intercept on) the browser doesn't load any page.

Christiano, when intercept is turned on, Burp Suite should be intercepting the request. The request should appear in the Proxy "Intercept" tab. Are you able to see the http request in this tab?

Could you send us a screenshot of the Proxy Intercept tab. You can send it to support@portswigger.net. Thanks.

try using an earlier version of firefox, maybe with the updates the proxy is blocking you
