Open firefox, network preferences under the Advanced tab, SOCKS proxy and set host to 127.0.0.1 and port 9999 close preferences and you’re all set to go.

– Addendum:

I was actually at Panera’s doing some work while I ate breakfast with a friend when I did this… I had planned on staying longer but apparently Panera’s doesn’t like customers buying lunch… I had planned on staying an additional bit past 12 to eat some lunch there but was promptly disconnected from the internet after 30 minutes of use (between 11:30AM and 1:30PM they block you after 30 minutes of WiFi).

Panera’s you’ve lost my business.

I got tired of waiting for the browser to load their nasty redirect page to login so I wrote a simple python script to automatically log me in, just execute and your good! (only tested on MAC)
