 configured relay with

 Socks5ProxyUsername user
 Socks5ProxyPassword pass

 added to FF 'prefs.js'

 user_pref("network.proxy.socks_username", "user");
 user_pref("network.proxy.socks_password", "pass");

 not working as far as I can tell

 Wireshark of connection shows

 Socks Protocol
   Version: 5
   Client Authentication Methods
   Authentication Method Count: 1
   Method[0]: 0 (No authentication)

 so relay is not enforcing authentication
 and I don't see any options for requiring
 that it do so
