set foxyproxy to use default proxy at startup, rather than last one

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 23:47 — jimmy the saint

So in order to use library research services I have to use a proxy .pac.

Thats fine, except that I don't have access to the internet until AFTER I open Firefox and log in to the schools internet system. Starting Firefox with a .pac file and no internet access causes firefox to fail to open. It took me a while to isolate the problem, but now that I have I am left with three choices

1) Remember to change the proxy before I close FF every time (wont happen)

2) Uninstall Foxyproxy

3) constantly have to move the Foxyproxy folder, start firefox, get access to the internet, then replace the folder and restart firefox

I cannot find a way to set the proxy to be used at startup. Is there a way?

Thanks

How can I start

How can I start Firefox/FoxyProxy with different settings than when last exited?
FoxyProxy supports a command-line argument for this purpose:
-foxyproxy-mode [patterns|disabled||random (not supported)|roundrobin (not supported)]
Windows examples:
firefox.exe -foxyproxy-mode 1095631556
firefox.exe -foxyproxy-mode disabled
firefox.exe -foxyproxy-mode patterns
OSX/Linux example:
firefox -foxyproxy-mode 1095631556
firefox -foxyproxy-mode disabled
firefox -foxyproxy-mode patterns
When NOT specified, FoxyProxy resumes from the last mode in which it was used. When specified, FoxyProxy starts in the specified mode.

You'd probably do mode default.
