Reviews for FoxyProxy Standard
FoxyProxy Standard by Eric Jung
Review by o-neil
Rated 2 out of 5
by o-neil, 9 years agoIt was quite ok for the purpose I used it for, although not so comfortable to configure with its user interface, but now getting worse.
I am still using it as I don't want to look for an alternative due to time issues, but probably not so long anymore.
It really got worse with the version 5.
I rolled back to version 4.6.5 manually and deactivated the auto-update for this addon.
I lost all my settings due to the auto-update to version 5, which they also mention in the desciption of the new version - below - with saying sorry, but a sorry does not help.
The import function should work and should exactly solve the supposed "Firefox limitations" but it doesn't do..
Although the old design wasn't really good either, the new design is just a nightmare.
Besides that the new version displays my proxy password in cleartext on the screen - no way!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Alt Grey, 2 months agoIt do not work on the browser start for the first moments. So, the browser loads previously opened tabs without using a proxy.
Developer response
posted 3 days agoThat is how browsers work and it is out of the extension's hand. An extension only works after it is loaded by the browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14274837, 2 months agoSince I am unable to directly reply to other users' comments, I am commenting here instead.
Regarding the issue reported by some users that the extension cannot be used, it is suggested to try changing the value of the "network.proxy.type" setting in about:config. If the value is 0, you can try changing it to 1. If it is PAC, you can change it to 5. - Rated 1 out of 5by cxtbs, 2 months ago
