Annoyance of the Month: SwitchProxy
by Acidus at 9:19 am EDT, Aug 24, 2009

SwitchProxy still does not work with Firefox 3.5. This is getting unbearable. Anyone else have a Firefox Add-on that they use to manage proxies? I don't need anything that scrapes "anonymous proxy" (aka hacked boxes that sniff traffic) lists. I just need a simple "use the proxy" switcher where I can quickly change proxies from browser toolbar without an dialog boxes.

Any ideas?

FoxyProxy works spiffily in 3.5. It's very lightweight and I probably use it for the exact use case you do, switching between various interception proxies. Oh, and goat porn, naturally.

Awesome. Playing with it now. Thanks for the heads up.

I second the FoxyProxy recommendation.
