    It works with Orbot. That's what I need.

    Simple and straight forward works like a charm for a quick "oh man" and way easier than bouncing through the settings every time to proxy something for 5 seconds. How I never found this sooner is beyond me

    NOTE: I probably changed over firefox revisions, but you *MUST* give it private browsing permissions or it will silently just not enable.

    Thanks for this great feedback!
    I added a word about this in the add-on description but I need to make the extension more interactive to provide feedback on this (I'm already able to capture the "allow" status).

    KISS! perfect little plugin for me since I only occasionally have an SSH SOCKS proxy running.

    Works great, a sorely needed convenience addon for me. One thing, maybe you could make the addon remember it's last used state when the browser closes and reopens? Currently it always starts with socks proxy off, even when you closed the browser with the proxy setting set to "on".

    Thanks for your review. I'm using local storage API which is quite unstable on browser restart scenarios (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage). I need to change it for next release as I'm now getting warnings from Firefox add-in checks, it is not recommended to use this API for extensions anymore...
    You can directly open an issue on Github for me to track this evolution (I've just enabled the feature on the repo for this purpose).

    Edit: Took me some times but v1.2.0 should finally bring this feature :-)

    Thanks! I honestly thought nobody was using it.
