The "Download files" permission is used to export FoxyProxy settings to a file (so you can import it elsewhere). The "Download history" permission is required only because Firefox does not allow add-ons to specify just "download files" without "download history". It's all or nothing. Internally, nothing is done with your download history. This is open source software and you can view the code yourself by unzipping the downloaded then using a text viewer, or by visiting https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension
"Clear recent browsing history, cookies, and related data": this is used by the big eraser button since version 6.3. You can delete cookies, cache, etc with one-click.

This add-on is Firefox Recommended; therefore, the code is manually reviewed by Mozilla for privacy theft and permission abuse. It does neither.

- 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, 2 months 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
