Install PSM (Personal Security Manager).

If you're using Mozilla 0.9.7, you can do that by visiting this url and 
clicking OK in the install dialog that comes up:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.7/windows-xpi/psm.xpi
(Software Installation must be enabled, 
Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Software Installation).

What are you talking about?
Are you referring to SOCKS? This is a kind of Proxy server, where two 
protocol versions are common - 4 and 5.

This is not really related to Winsock.
