A somewhat more reliable solution is to use SSH SOCKS tunneling (ssh -D) 
and configure your browser to use the tunneled port as a SOCKS proxy 
(which can be done on a per-host basis using a custom proxy auto-config 
script).  Something like the following (untested!) should work:

/* set up tunnel with: ssh -fND 12345 username at login.toolserver.org */
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
     if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".toolserver.org"))
         return "SOCKS localhost:12345";
     else
         return "DIRECT";
}
