During last weeks, Eric Jung – the creator of FoxyProxy, has worked hard to improve the add-on and fix bugs. Release 2.13 is now available for download!
FoxyProxy is an excellent Firefox add-on that completely replaces Firefox’s limited proxying capabilities. It provides a lot of features and it’s considered to be more complete than the well-known SwitchProxy or other similar add-ons. If you have not installed FoxyProxy yet, you should follow the step-by-step tutorial by Scott Mulligan. Enjoy!
Here are the most important features added or bugs fixed in the last versions:
- Ability to remove the “FoxyProxy:” prefix in the statubar with a “hidden preferenence” (i.e., no GUI currently).
- Log sorting by clicking on a column
- Open log URLs in tabs
- Copy URLs of log rows to clipboard
- Ability to delete log rows
- Fixed launching of URLs on Sonbird and other platforms
- Fixed “Copy Selection” so it copies patterns, too (as it did in 2.8.14 and before).
- Translation updates
- When adding a new proxy, the Proxy Details tab is now the default tab. This contributes towards faster addition of new proxies (one less click)
- Warning message for “You didn’t enter and enable any whitelisted (inclusive) URL patterns …” now has a “Do not show this message again” checkbox for better usability to people who use FoxyProxy like SwitchProxy (i.e., load all URLs through one proxy at a time)
- Revamp of “Do not show this message again” checkboxes so they can more easily be added for all sorts of annoying, recurring questions in FoxyProxy.
- Fixed longstanding bug whereby regular expression special characters ($, ., +, (, ), and ^) couldn’t be used in URL patterns
- Ability to sort patterns by clicking on the column headings
- Ability to disable resetting of icon colors after URLs have finished loading via a “hidden preferenence” (i.e., no GUI currently).
- Change the attribute /foxyproxy[@resetIconColors] from true to false and restart Firefox. This enables you to easily see which proxy was last used (instead of having to use the FoxyProxy Logging tab).
P.S. Are you looking for premium proxies? Here is what I recommend: Anonymous Proxies.
