Works great everywhere but disables chat in Gmail
great addon, latest slightly broken on linux

this is a really useful tool for the sys and network admins, allowing you to switch proxy in very clever ways
the latest version is a bit buggy on linux - doesn't show the list of proxies defined, and doesn't offer the status bar menu thing - go back to v 2.4 and it works fine.
Good

Overall, this is a very useful add-on if you have a need for switching proxies on occasion. However, if you try to launch Firefox to establish a connection at some paid access point (like HotSpot or at airport, which requires you to login using your paid service), the browser simply does not launch properly, even if FoxyProxy is installed (you have to *totally* disable using Tools->Add-ons menu); it seems the initial checking of some sort by FoxyProxy is getting in the way. Other than that, this add-on offers a lot more functions than regular users would need, but is very useful.
Outstanding Wrk

I'm very particular abut my internet use which means I manage through a number of proxies and every single connection gets assigned to one of them. With a moderate amount of thought, use of FoxyProxy's White List/Black List features with very easy to use wildcard patterns I have gone from a large amount of address-specific maintenance to basically a completely transparetn system. This tool is fantastic. As for the cautions on privacy, if you subscribe to an annonymizing proxy like anonymizer.com, you can get the best of all worlds.
To the author: I greatly appreciate your work and until you start charging a significant usage fee you owe none of us any apologies, especially for the stuff that is obviously beyond your control. The level of support you provide for this free tool is much higher than most commercial software offers.

best proxy extension yet

this is the best one yet.
In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application program) which services the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the client's request or the server's response, and sometimes it may serve the request without contacting the specified server. In this case, it would 'cache' the first request to the remote server, so it could save the information for later, and make everything as fast as possible.
A proxy server that passes all requests and replies unmodified is usually called a gateway or sometimes tunneling proxy.
A proxy server can be placed in the user's local computer or at specific key points between the user and the destination servers or the Internet.
