Chinese (traditional) translation -- Thanks Hugo-C
Russian translation -- Thanks VadimSource code released under GNU General Public License v2.0
Version 7.5
Released Jul 19, 2020 - 921.51 KBWorks with firefox 60.0 and later* Import Proxy Lists! Long requested feature. See https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/wiki/Import-Proxy-List
* Simplified Chinese translation -- Thanks FeralMeow at https://github.com/wsxy162
* Display "Synchronize Settings" for new installations when there are no proxies defined. Reported at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/83
* Fixed: Import Settings bug especially painful for people using the AWS Management Guide at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-connect-master-node-proxy.html . Reported at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/76
* Also fixed bug whereby spinner did not hide after import settings errors.

Version 7.4.3
Released Dec 29, 2019 - 913.74 KBWorks with firefox 60.0 and laterFixed "log limit ignored" bug at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/58
Fixed spelling errors. Contributed by cheese1. Thank you!Source code released under GNU General Public License v2.0
Version 7.4.2
Released Dec 11, 2019 - 914.13 KBWorks with firefox 60.0 and later* Improved Logging — see URLs that matched blacklist patterns and URLs that didn't match anything are now in their own section.
* Patterns mode now exists even if there are no white patterns defined. This was the behavior of FoxyProxy before 7.x. Its absence when no white patterns are defined makes sense (no proxy will ever be used), but has been a source of tremendous confusion. Discussed at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/49 but also many other places.
* When adding a new proxy, Add whitelist pattern to match all URLs is now on by default. Discussed at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/49.
* On the patterns window, added new button for Add whitelist pattern to match all URLs similar to the existing button Add black patterns to prevent this proxy being used for localhost & intranet/private IP addresses.
* Patterns Cheat Sheet improvements — more examples and text explaining that blacklist patterns take precedence over whitelist patterns.
* Change an i18n key name so it works in chrome, too (chrome does not allow periods in key names).
* Remove unneeded console log messages.
* Faster deletion of patterns (faster animation)Source code released under GNU General Public License v2.0
Version 7.4.1
Released Oct 19, 2019 - 913.87 KBWorks with firefox 60.0 and later* Hundreds of changes; addon is again aligned with all features of FoxyProxy Standard 7.4.1 except pattern matching. Here is a partial list
* Now works with Firefox Nightly 71.x and Beta 71.x. Minimum Firefox version is now 60.0.
* Logging improvements; log now displays unmatched URLs just like version 6.x and earlier. This makes it obvious which URLs you may want to write patterns for.
* UI Improvements
* Performance improvements for authentication.
* Ensure new proxies are added to the top of the list when created.
* Remove migration code which seems to cause errors for some people; migration from very old versions now gone.
* Do not display pattern shortcuts (match all URLs, don't match localhost & intranet IPs) when editing a proxy setting, just like 6.x and earlier. Showing these created a lot of confusion for some users. Sorry!
* Pattern Cheat Sheet on pattern-related pages.
* Bug fixes when importing legacy foxyproxy.xml settings (FoxyProxy 4.x and earlier).
* Show patterns buttons when adding Direct (no proxy) setting. Fixed some minor UI bugs when using Direct (no proxy).
* Added browser and extension version numbers to export for debugging of exported settings submitted by users. It will be useful also in the future as the fileformat matures and changes, as it has many times over the years.
* Another pattern bugfix. See https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/33
* Fix for inability to turn off "Send DNS through SOCKS5 proxy" for SOCKS5 proxies; see https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/35

Firefox 57+ is significantly different than previous Firefox versions. I was forced to re-write 10 years of mature FoxyProxy code from scratch. There are many missing features, and in almost all cases that is due to Firefox 57+ limitations or bugs (for example, custom-colored toolbar icons). The UI also had to change; I could no longer make FoxyProxy look like a native application. It now looks more like a traditional web site.
I understand your frustration. Please refrain from attacking me because there is nothing I can do to change Mozilla's decisions. Thank you for using my labor of love. -- Eric H. Jung, November 2017Source code released under GNU General Public License v2.0
