No Foxy Proxy button on browser

Fri, 04/29/2011 - 10:22 — Abby Normal

I installed the latest version of FoxyProxy to test it to see what kind of features it might have that I might find useful. However, after installation & browser re-booting, I went the "FP "Help" section, which says, "3. Click the FoxyProxy icon in the lower-right of the browser. This opens the FoxyProxy Options dialog."
Umm, I am on Windows 7 with the last FireFox update, & there is *no* "FoxyProxy icon in the lower-right of the browser." I have looked in various menus, & have still yet to find *any* such button, so I am wondering if the new version I DLed to test, has bugs, is broken, or if it simply is not compatible with the new FF and/or Win7?
Thanks

You probably use FF4, right?

You probably use FF4, right? Well, the Add-on Bar is hidden by default in this version. If you want to see the icon in the lower-right you have to enable the bar first: Click on View -> Toolbar -> and check Add-on Bar and it should pop up. Otherwise you may open the context menu (right click on a web page) and you'll find the FoxyProxy icon there as well (a click on "Options" is opening FoxyProxy's options dialog).

Hi,

Future version of FoxyProxy will automatically show the toolbar button. Thanks for pointing this out! I'll update the documentation, too.
