- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13354354, 6 years agoExactly what I was looking for. Doing one thing and doing it well.
It let you put the proxy of your choice and toggle it on or off when needed.
If you're looking for a good list of proxies, there it is: http://spys.one/en/ complete and informative and regularly kept up to date. - Rated 2 out of 5by Gingko, 6 years agoDoesn't seem to handle HTTP(S) proxy authentication, thus unusable for me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14374292, 6 years agoWorks well. Another reviewer said it didn't work for them on Ubuntu 16.04, but I'm on that and it works fine for me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14336885, 6 years agoFais très bien son travail. Sans demande de permission excessive, juste l'activation ou non du proxy.
- Rated 5 out of 5by pix0wl, 6 years agoBy far the best proxy toggle addon I could find from a perspective of privacy and simplicity-utility ratio. Any other addon asked for too many permissions or doesn't supported proxys with login data.
Works great on my Windows machines but unfortunately not on my Android device. It just take no effect when I toggle it. The IP stays the same. I'm using the latest Firefox and the same paid Socks5 proxy on all devices. - Rated 5 out of 5by sandro79, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by mk.pl, 6 years agothis addon requires the less permissions than some of the others.
seems to work fine if you need to toggle your connection without going through firefox pref page. - Rated 5 out of 5by Fraser McCrossan, 6 years ago
- 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
