Hi,

space in the status bar is at a premium. Please make displaying the name of the addon optional.

Thanks for your work!

Hi,

 

This has been available since FoxyProxy 2.11. From the release notes:

 

Ability to remove the "FoxyProxy:" prefix in the statubar with a "hidden preferenence" (i.e., no GUI currently). Change the attribute /foxyproxy[@useStatusBarPrefix] from true to false and restart Firefox. This long-requested feature makes FoxyProxy display only the proxy name (or mode) and the FoxyProxy icon in the statusbar. It is useful for people who have lots and lots of Firefox addson that consume statusbar real-estate and who still want to be able to see the name of the current proxy or mode (i.e., users who don't want to uncheck the existing FoxyProxy "Global Settings->Show mode (text) on statusbar" setting.

 

So open your foxyproxy.xml and set <foxyproxy ... useStatusBarPrefix="false" ... />

 

Let me know if you have more questions,

Remove Name from Statusbar

Looked for all files named foxyproxy.xml. Found one with very long lines, useStatusBarPrefix="true" in it. Quit FF, changed that to false, restarted FF: No Change.

Is this the wrong file? Where am I supposed to find it?

Hi,   You can find the file

Hi,

 

You can find the file as described at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/settings.html . Please make sure you are changing the right one. You should change it with all Firefox instances closed.
