Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 13486959, 5 years agoДолго скал просто готовую кнопку на панели инструментов в firefox, для простого и быстрого переключения стандартных настроек прокси. Что бы не лазить постоянно когда надо включить прокси в Настройки сети. Это то что надо.
PS/ в настройках дополнения, есть возможность сменить тип переключаемого режима прокси.
Радость продлилась не долго, firefox обновился до версии 72 и плагин работать перестал ((((

- Rated 5 out of 5by Luciano, 3 years agoExactly what I was looking for. An easy way to alternate between automatic and manual proxy configuration.
- Rated 1 out of 5by djvoo, 4 years agodoes not work for me in FF 80.0.1
manual proxy aside works great, clicking addon's icon does not switch direct to manual mode.Developer response
posted 4 years agoYou most likely need to enable the extension in Private mode. Firefox has broken the permission model for proxy by just having extensions fail silently when global settings are changed and using the extension in Private mode is not enabled. While at the same time there doesn't seem to be any way to request private mode permission. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15285416, 5 years agoDoes exactly what supposed to do. Unlike other proxy "switchers". 5+
- Rated 5 out of 5by FeZ, 5 years agoCool, it does what I want, and ONLY what I want. Highly recommended for those who should change between VPN and local network frequently.
Thank you! - Rated 5 out of 5by jfmpmozilla, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15631773, 5 years agoDoes exactly what it should.
In Firefox 67+ you have to allow it to Run in Private Windows in order to work, since settings managed by this app affects browsing in all FF widows, including private. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14420011, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by m47730, 5 years agoit's simple and effective! I just need a button for enable/disable proxy and this extension just do it!
(For ssh tunneler addicted) - Rated 5 out of 5by imarkov, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14971661, 6 years agoThis is exactly the function I needed, and it works perfectly with my ssh tunnel. I tried two other add-ons before this one which didn't work. This is just a remote switch for Firefox's built-in proxy setting on/off. Saves time and mouse clicks to do what I need to do! Thank you Pedro!
- Rated 5 out of 5by TomND, 6 years agoI just wanted a simple button to turn a SOCKS proxy on and off, and this extension works perfectly. It uses the built-in Firefox proxy configuration instead of trying to duplicate its functionality and provide options I don't need.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Kaan, 6 years agoDone everything in the about page, I can toggle it once and it works the first time but after toggling it off and on again it doesn't connect to proxy anymore.

posted 6 years agoIn your extension settings what is "When on" set to?
And this extension doesn't do anything to setup your proxy. If your proxy is disconnected it will naturally not work. The extension just changes the Firefox settings. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14504805, 6 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14478245, 6 years agoNew version doesn't work _at all_. It's impossible to configure; it claims to use Firefox's own configuration, but Firefox doesn't let you used that while this extension is installed (because it "controls the Internet connection"), plus that config is cleared if you disable/enable this extension.
Reverted back to 0.4 and it works again.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThe extension works fine here. You can only change the settings while the proxy is off (globe is grey). That's the way add-ons work, once an add-on sets a setting it can't be changed manually. The reason for the change is that the way the extension worked before did not have all the options users wanted, this way everything that can be set in the firefox settings can be used. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14470222, 6 years agoThe new version does exactly what it says. Swith proxy on/off, with minimal permissions. Awesome!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14319257, 6 years agoIt's simple and It works, without requesting any extra permission
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6646040, 7 years agoThis app allows you to easily configure a proxy and then to toggle that proxy on or off with the click of a button. It requires a minimum amount of permissions granted. Thanks!
