- Rated 5 out of 5by mjy, 7 years agoIt is an easy to use add-on that I can do what I need. +5
(However, the graphics of the toggle button has one problem. Because it is a transparent icon used only black, it can not be seen under the system theme with a dark background. -1)

This method worked. Thank you. +1Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe last time I checked this, you had to set "svg.context-properties.content.enabled" to true in about:config to allow the icons to change colour. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13126201, 7 years agoThe extension use its own settting independent with proxy settings in firefox preferences. The proxy setting in firefox preferences should be set to "direct" (no proxy) for this extension to work (at least on my FF59). This is not mentioned in the introduction or some where else. Anyway finally it works.
In the past there are addons whcih direcly toggle firefox proxy settings, e.g. QuickJava (http://quickjavaplugin.blogspot.fr/p/welcome.html). Now with the new FF57 extension system I don't koown where to find this kind of extensions. - Rated 5 out of 5by Aleksei, 7 years agoNice simple, does exactly what is promised.
Can you add a keyboard shortcut though? - Rated 5 out of 5by Nickolay Ponomarev, 7 years agoDoes exactly what promised and nothing more; the code is very short and easy to review.
It's unfortunate that you have to set up the proxy in the add-on settings, but that's a limitation of Firefox itself (the add-ons are no longer allowed to toggle the switch in the browser's settings, since Mozilla's move to WebExtensions). - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13346790, 7 years agothe only thing missing is the exception; otherwise is perfect for my needs

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13689603, 7 years agoЭтот аддон делает только то, что от него ожидаешь. Включает и отключает прокси по нажатию на иконку и ничего больше!!! Никаких левых функций!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12918749, 7 years agovery very useful,the firefox original proxy settings is too cumbersome
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13568616, 7 years agoThank you, it simple and does what i need. And it works in ff57
- Rated 5 out of 5by Chip, 7 years agoWorks perfectly for me with FF 57.0.2 64-bit! Allows me to switch between my defined proxy and none with a single click! Thanks!
- Rated 2 out of 5by CyberAqyn, 7 years agoIt doesn't toggle browser's proxy but its own. No exceptions list.
- Rated 5 out of 5by kstev99, 7 years agoThis add-on works great with PIA proxy settings. It seems much faster than using the VPN Client and you can switch instantaneously. Thanks to the developer.
- Rated 5 out of 5by frm1001xplrr, 7 years agoSimply works, super easy setup , one-button-on/off, and supports Socks5 authentication!! Woohoo :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13145241, 7 years agoIt would be a good idea to add option to enable/disable skipping proxy for local addresses. I would submit a patch for this, but there is no public repo.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe skipping doesn't do a DNS lookup, so only applies to things like local network IPs and hostnames without dots. I prefer to keep options to a minimum, so don't plan to add a toggle for this. The code is MIT licensed so you can adapt or republish it as you wish. - Rated 3 out of 5by ali44, 7 years agowhen i set proxy in "network setting" of Firefox to "manually", this addon override it!
i expect this addon to be a shortcut of "network setting", just like old "elite proxy switcher" addon. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13547543, 7 years agoNo effect on my browser (Firefox 57 on Ubuntu 16.04)

Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe icons are compatible with dark themes - currently you need to set "svg.context-properties.content.enabled" to true in about:config to allow this functionality.
