FoxyProxy Standard by Eric Jung, erosman
Review by Dave
Rated 3 out of 5
by Dave, 8 years agoI have changed my review from a 1 to 3 (for this version, 4.5.6 gets a 5/5) after working with v5 on my dev machine. I'm not keen on the new user interface and it dropping all my old proxies/rules (really need a working import) but now I have battled the new interface I can get all my proxies working as before (I have a mix of Bluecoat SG, SOCKS 5, putty SSH tunnels and Squids)
I think the issue is that Eric felt rushed release a non-lecacy version and maybe should have released this once a working import was functional and a few more of the older functions where working ie colour change icon on proxy use, more adult looking UI, same RHC function on the icon(I use this a lot).
For now I need to keep 4.6.5 on my main workstation but will move to 5 if the older function can be brought over.
@Eric - thanks for the time and effort you must put into this addon, I know it can't be easy.
OLD Review from this morning:-
I use this addon with some very complex rules and have always loved the addon, that is until v5.0, I've had to rollback to Version 4.6.5 and block auto updating, v5.0 seems like a different addon altogether, nothing imported, nothing worked and most of the features seem to be missing.

posted 8 years agoPlease revert to the old version by:
1. Uninstall the version you have now (type about:addons in the address type and remove FoxyProxy)
2. Install the one version from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/versions/ you want version 4.6.5
3. Your old settings will magically reappear
This is a temporary solution--that older version will only work until November 2017 when Firefox 57 comes out. But long before that time, the new version will have evolved with more features. Note that some features are not possible anymore due to Firefox's new addon ecosystem called WebExtensions. They are much more restricted than older addons (pre Firefox-57)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18044062, a month agoI think the last update broke the badge that displays which proxy is currently on. It only shows up on a new tab or when the page has failed to load. In every other instances it's not visible.
Not that it's a problem. I'm just pointing it out.Developer response
posted a month agoBadges are per tab and if a tab uses a proxy, it shows. Some tabs are loaded from the browser cache and there were no net-requests made from that tab.
However, if there is an issue, please post the details to the support for further investigation. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bartosz Kaźmierczak, a month ago

posted 3 months agoThe server list is an auto-fill helper to fill type, hostname and port. Extensions do not have direct access to other applications running on users computer. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18889269, 3 months ago
