posted 6 years agohi, you can create multiple entries for proxy servers that support more than one protocol. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14066287, 6 years agoIt keeps remote host from controlling what I do

posted 6 years agoPlease email support@getfoxyproxy.org for help--I do not understand what the problem is - Rated 1 out of 5by Vasili Gulevich, 6 years agoLatest version requests permissions to delete browsing data. Why proxy management software would do that?
Please move that function into a dedicated plugin and use only necessary permissions in each.
UPDATE:
I'm not worried about a plugin stealing my data. I just don't want to have a bloated do-it all plugin, that uses permissions it does not need.
I agree, that different contexts when using different proxies may be useful, but that is supposed to be done with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/contextualIdentities and not with data deletion. Even then, it's probably a scope of a different dedicated plugin.
I would also like to point out, that if you decide to remove browsing data access later, it will be a removal of a well-used feature (and much more users will come yelling), while now it is an addition of an unnecessary quirk.
To be less negative, let me say it in a different way. I adore the simplicity of previous version, with a little bit of UI polishing it would easily become my favorite plugin. Please don't take that true quality of a dedicated tool from us.Developer response
posted 6 years agoSome people want to delete browsing data when switching proxy servers. Right now there is a button in FoxyProxy to delete browsing data manually, but we also want to add the option to delete it automatically when proxies are switched. Why are you so upset about it? Do you think FoxyProxy is stealing your browsing data? Because if it wanted to, it could already do that before these new permissions--simply by watching all traffic going through your proxy servers. Of course, it doesn't do that, but you are no less secure with these new permissions than before; that is my point. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6116874, 6 years agoPlease consider reverting the new Cookie permission requirement. I prefer this add-on to be solely resposible for handling proxy connections.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13885219, 6 years agoWhy would I want to allow a proxy switcher to clear my recent browsing history, cookies, and related data!? A proxy switcher should only make sure the appropriate proxy is used nothing else.

posted 6 years agonew feature "Del Browsing Data" ... look above the "About" link when you open the main options page. it probably does not need history permissions because it does not delete history, but it does need cookie permissions. i will fix the history permission shortly.
Please consider changing your rating if this is the only reason you gave the extension 2 stars.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14053984, 6 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13448676, 7 years agoWhy does the latest version require Cookie and History permissions?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoSo it can delete cookies when clicking that new button. It probably does not need history permissions; I will check that. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13495211, 7 years agoWhat's up with the Cookie and History permission?

It installs okay, configures etc, but it does not look it works. Websites still show home IP.
It works really nice for Windows version of the Firefox.Developer response
posted 7 years agoWon't work on Android until Firefox supports its proxyAPI for Android. I'll update the description of this addon with that info. - Rated 5 out of 5by Self-Perfection, 7 years ago
