How to use SOCKS5 proxy with user/pass + foxyproxy?

Hello,
I have SOCKS 5 proxy with username and password. On Firefox and Chrome I am using FoxyProxy addon. I see for the Pale Moon it's also ported, but when I try to use it I am getting message like in the attachment.
What is the way to use SOCKS5 proxy with authentication in Pale Moon?
Thank you.

Maybe you could use the build-in proxy settings in Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings...?

I would if I could. There is no AUTH (login+pass) function. That is why I wonder the developers can add it? The funny thing is the bug exists since 17 years...

Try
FoxyProxy Basic from Pale Moon's add-on site.
I didn't test myself but it should work. Not sure but be aware that user name and password might get stored in plain text somewhere in your profile folder.

I always thought that you can enter the username and password together with the server address, but apparently you can not. Interestingly enough, if I understand the this correctly, UXP should support the SOCKS5 username and password authentication, but it simply is not exposed in the settings.

Thanks for trying to help, but... did you even read my post and take a look on the screenshot? I am using FoxyProxy, but it does not work.

FoxyProxy simply does not handle Goanna platform applications properly. You should try to apply the following patch to the FoxyProxy Basic v3.6.5:

Sorry, I overlooked your screenshot. My bad.
Let's hope, the patch offered by
JustOff can help.

@JustOff
Thank you so much, I will test it out by Monday as have no access to machine at the moment. I do really appreciate how much kind you are.
@gepus
Not a problem at all. You've tried! ;-)
