7) Done!, now you should see a new tab opened, that means you are connected to Digit IRC.
one more thing the room isn't active all the time, so there can be time when you are there but no body replies you
so this can be solved in way only that getting more users & existing one staying up connected even noone it chatting. chances someone will drop by and you can chat.
the room is more active in night for obvious reasons:p.

*hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/faq/#proxy
The Proxy Type setting is found in ChatZilla's Preferences window, on the General tab in the Connection group. It exists both for Global Settings and for each network. It is only available in ChatZilla 0.9.75 and later.

check wether you are connected to server: irc.freenode.net
also you are left-click to select the room & then click join:)
and if now also you are unable to join then post the screenshot & full steps in detail about that you did;) so that i may be where you are stuck

about accessing it from mobile: yes it possible but frankly i haven't tired it till now. :)
