Release Notes

Annoyed by this page? How to disable this page from displaying after upgrading FoxyProxy

FoxyProxy Plus is now available.

Fast, reliable proxy servers are also now available.


2.18.128 January 2010
  • Fixed "all proxies" enabled at startup" bug discussed at here.
  • Hidden setting for not disabling a proxy in FoxyProxy when its PAC file can't load. To use: close firefox. In foxyproxy.xml, change the new "disableOnBadPAC" attribute from its default of "true" to "false". This can be set on a per-proxy basis so you will see "disableOnBadPAC" listed more than once. Requested here.
  • Locale updates
2.1821 January 2010
  • Fixed ever-increasing main window size problem
  • If proxy is disabled because of missing or broken PAC, it is attempted to be restored on restart of FF. Discussed here.
  • Locale updates
  • Increased minimum Firefox version to 3.0a1. 2.0.* is no longer supported / tested.
  • Songbird version bump
2.1712 January 2010
  • DNS "leak" fix for SOCKS proxies. See the new checkbox in Proxy Settings: "Perform remote DNS lookups on hostnames loading through this proxy". This checkbox is now checked by default for new SOCKS proxies.
  • Menu colors (statusbar, toolbar, context-menu) now match customized proxy color
  • Copy Pattern button for easily copying patterns within the same proxy
  • Minor Add/Edit Proxy dialog bug fix
  • Animated FoxyProxy icon in About box (Thanks, Jesper!)
  • McAfee Site Advisor support. Discussed here.
  • Work towards re-enable proxies disabled by missing PAC but feature is not yet complete.
  • Width and height of main options dialog and proxy settings dialog remembered between opening/closing
  • Fixed bug which prevented the proper display of an error message to the user if he was using a PAC with a syntax error or other problems. Discussed here.
  • Proxy DNS column added to Proxies list in the main window and ChooseProxy window (displayed with Alt+F3)
  • Default display columns for new installations is now:
    Proxy list:
    • Enabled
    • Color
    • Proxy Name
    • Proxy Notes
    URLS Patterns list:
    • Enabled
    • Pattern Name
    • URL pattern
    • Whitelist/Blacklist
    Logging list:
    • Timestamp
    • Color
    • Proxy Name
    • URL
    • Pattern Name
    All other columns are still available but must be enabled explictly. The point is to enable less clutter by hiding by default lesser-important columns.
  • Tor wizard now uses remote DNS lookup by default instead of prompting the user
  • Warning about using parentheses without a backslash in patterns. Since backreferences aren't relevant in FoxyProxy, there's no point in using parentheses without matching them literally.
2.16.130 November 2009
  • Fix for French which caused French installations of 2.16 to completely break
  • Locale updates
Repeating 2.16 release notes since 2.16 was not made available for more than a couple of hours
  • REMOVED SHORTLY AFTER MADE PUBLIC DUE TO CRITICAL ISSUE FOR FRENCH ISSUES
  • DNS lookups now fixed! Removed the Global Setting "Use SOCKS proxy for DNS lookups" and replaced it with a "Use this proxy for all DNS lookups" checkbox on each Proxy Settings dialog. However, only one proxy can be chosen for DNS lookups amongst all proxies. This is a Firefox limitation. See screenshot here and here. The bug was reported here and elsewhere.
  • Fixed "Cycle Through Modes" bug as described here.
  • Logging tab: moved "Open URL in New Tab", "Copy URL to Clipboard", and "Delete Selection" buttons above the log so the horizontal view of the log is maximized. Requested here.
  • Added proxy color to the logging tab
  • Fixed text-wrapping when resizing the "Choose Proxy" dialog (initiated from the Alt+F3 "QuickProxy" shortcut)
  • Proxy color now displayed when pressing the Alt+F3 "QuickProxy" shortcut
  • Fixed bug whereby some alert boxes weren't properly parented/owned. This led to some alerts not being properly modal with respect to the window/dialog that issued the alert.
  • Fixed various minor bugs with the Tor Wizard; also removed a step in the wizard
  • Locale upates
  • Vietnamese translation -- thanks loveleeyounga!
  • fr-FR locale changed to fr per BabelZilla
