The "Download files" permission is used to export FoxyProxy settings to a file (so you can import it elsewhere). The "Download history" permission is required only because Firefox does not allow add-ons to specify just "download files" without "download history". It's all or nothing. Internally, nothing is done with your download history. This is open source software and you can view the code yourself by unzipping the downloaded then using a text viewer, or by visiting https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension
"Clear recent browsing history, cookies, and related data": this is used by the big eraser button since version 6.3. You can delete cookies, cache, etc with one-click.

This add-on is Firefox Recommended; therefore, the code is manually reviewed by Mozilla for privacy theft and permission abuse. It does neither.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18808553, 20 days agoWorks some of the time. Proxy config works for containers 1 and 2 consistently enough. Containers 3 and 4 (and Incognite) quit using it after a while and consume all my limited hotspot data after a couple of weeks.
See no way to respond directly to the Developer response below, but oh good grief. I get 60 GB of data but only 20 GB of hotspot data and run a socks proxy on the phone. A proxy doesn't change my overall volume of of internet usage, yes, but can have a tremendous impact on my hotspot usage. Data plans in which hotspot data is considerably less than total data are common. I have a couple of cameras in the house that aren't proxy aware and when the hotspot data is consumed the cameras quit working even though I still have plenty of data. - Rated 5 out of 5by antoru, 22 days ago
