First, i love the tool, its excellent.

Second, small bug: If you have multiple windows open, and you turn the proxy off in one, the button doesnt get updated in any of the other windows, however the proxy setting is globally affecting.

I have created new version of proxybutton - 0.2
In version 0.2 this (If you have multiple windows open, and you turn the proxy off in one, the button doesnt get updated in any of the other windows, however the proxy setting is globally affecting.) bug was CORRECTED!

Please port proxybutton to mozilla! ;)

I use mozilla on this laptop and at home I want to use special proxy settings, but everywhere else I want to use no proxy. I suspend/resume the laptop (with linux and mozilla running) so the autoproxyconfig does not get reloaded.

When I have ProxyButton installed, firefox crashes whenever I encounter Javascript that open a new window. If I uninstall ProxyButton, the problem goes away.

I have corrected the problem of the button not showing the state of proxy on/off.
I do not have any place to put the file for distribution, so I renamed it into a .jpg file and uploaded it to www.imageshack.us.
You can get it by downloading this file:

Then rename the file back to its original filename:
proxybutton-0.1.4.xpi
and install into firefox (I only tested with FireFix 1.0).
As always, use at your own risk!

PS. For those who don't know, a firefox extension file is just a normal ZIP file renamed into .xpi. So, if you want to check the file before installing it, just open it with your favorite ZIP software. Inside is a .jar file that contains all the other files. All the files in there (except for the png files obviously) are normal text files that you can open with any texteditor).

PS2. If you try to open the link in firefox, you will of course get an error message like this:
The image “ cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
because it isn´t really a jpg file. Just right-click on the errormessage and choose "Save image as" from the popup menu.

Kamikaasje,
I've downloaded and checked your version and managed to find only two changes in your version against Proxybutton 0.1.4 and these changes were made in _COMMENTED_ lines. I don't think that modifications in comments can make any sence or fix anything.
Anyway I've changed the way of displaying icons in ProxyButton 0.1.4 and I didn't receive any bugreports since that release so I'm not sure if there is anything to fix. Feel free to mail me if I've missed something.

[19] Submitted by: Kamikaasje on Monday 21st February 2005 at 15:39 -0500

You are correct. I didn't change any of the code. The only thing I can think of is that because of the whitespace in front of the comment line they were not recognised correctly (as comment). I have tested the 1.4 version from this site and the one with the comment lines corrected and it does make the difference. I could demonstrate it for you if you were here. If I uninstall the extension and reinstall the original version I have the same problem described by the others (the button remains gray). If I install the extension again with the whitespace changed it works correctly. I checked this on different machines several times (because at first I couldn't believe either that this would make any difference. I stumbled upon it myself just by accident). Maybe it is a bug in the javascript interpreter in firefox? That is the only expanation that would make sense. Other than that I would know.

PS. Thanks for making this great and usefull extension!

[20] Submitted by: Kamikaasje on Monday 21st February 2005 at 16:08 -0500

PS. Just a little bit of additional information:

Indeed the changes in the path to the .png files makes no difference because they are commented out (like you said). They are just a leftover from a few things I tried while trying to find the location of the problem.
The difference, as far as I can tell, can only come from the dubble-slashes and possible from the whitespace in front and behind these slashes.
Reading the code like it was originally, it should have worked correctly I think. So why would the change I made make any difference? I can only specululate:
Maybe for some reason (possible a bug in firefox js) that comment line was misinterpreted possibly resulting in an error? If so, would firefox drop out of the changeImage function? That could explain it.
Maybe the problem was with the whitespace itself. Maybe it was in unicode and the whitespace wasn't really interpreted as whitespace? That could also explain it (although I guess this is probably a less likely explanation).
Maybe if I think a bit more I could come up with a few more hypothesese, although I agree this is all indeed just speculation. All I can say is that I can reproduce the problem again and again using the two different versions. Who knows, maybe it's just a problem on my PC and it worked correctly all along on yours?
Anyway, I'm glad it is working correctly for me now. Thanks again!

Kamikaasje,
the strange thing here is that this bug can't be caused by something like Firefox js interpreter because everything works perfect on my PC (I'm running WinXP Pro and latest FF trunk).
But, anyway, thank you for your efforts - I'll clean up that code to the next release.

Oleg, thank you very much. This works well. I appreciate how fast you responded to this.

Only one problem though...it is not possible to tell if the proxy is on or off with the button. You kind of have to remember what state it is in. Is there any way to add a state to the button to make it visible?

I am in no hurry, this is already so much better than having to mouse around with several clicks to turn on or off.

Great extension, Mr. Ivanov - super helpful for people who live in countries with a ..*ahem*.. "great (fire)wall".

You say you might make this into a full proxy suite... so I'd like to make a suggestion for a feature.

"use proxy for certain domains". When behind a nasty blockage of some sort, usually there are just a few domains that need to go through the proxy. if i could provide a list of domains (or patterns or regexps, whatever) which should use the proxy, leaving other domains to go through the normal pathways.... that would PERFECT.

Anyway, again, great job. Thanx!

I use an automatic proxy command file, through option "network.proxy.type=2". And your extension does not handle this option : there is only a switch between 0/1, while in my case, the need is for 0/2.
Could you take this into account in a next version ?
Sample logic :
* If network.proxy.type != 0 then set user_proxy_type = network.proxy.type
* elsewhere, use user_proxy_type value instead of hardwired "1" for the switches.

I tried to modify myself your file functions.js, but I am not able to re-zip it correctly :(

First of all, thanks for a very useful extension, this is exactly what I have been looking for! I use it both with TB 1.0+ and FF 1.0+ and I have also noticed the bugs mentioned here on both TB and FF. 1) The button does not seem to change color or indicate in any way the proxy state. I'm using the default theme with quite a bit of extensions. 2) The inability to switch between no proxy and automatic proxy configuration file. The extension would be just perfect if these two minor problems were corrected.

Automatic proxy configuration URL will be supported in next version.
Regarding the problem with no proxy state indication on button - I can't reproduce this bug on my system as on any available one. So please make sure that you've restarted FireFox after the installation of ProxyButton. Button must change from white to green when proxy is on and also there is a tooltip that also changes.
If anyone with this bug wants to participate in testing and fixing it - please contact me by e-mail and I'll send you a test version to tryi to locate the problem.

Just released new version with automatic proxy support. So now you can switch between direct and manual proxy or direct and automatic proxy.

Hi,
great little extension! ;)

But:
- The size of the button is bigger (height) than all other buttons (Qute 3-Skin). Is there no possibility to read the size of the other buttons from the toolbar?

- The button indicates no status of the proxy-setting. This would help a lot...

- The idea of extending to a full proxy-manager would be great. Maybe a dropdown-menu like at the "back"-button.

Greetings,

TS,
the button is just a picture so it's size can't be changed at runtime - there're only two variations, for "big icons" and "small icons" toolbar settings. You may change the icon by replacing appropriate files in xpi-package in "skin" directory. Or you may ask author of your theme to support ProxyButton and provide another icons for it with the theme - the only knowm for me theme that supports ProxyButton is "Mostly Crystal" by CatThief:

And - button DOES indicate proxy-status! It changes a color and tooltip, you need to restart FireFox AFTER you add button to the toolbar to make it work properly - read discussions above, I've described it not once.

For the next update, please consider using reducing the size of your big icons; 32x32 is bigger than the toolbar icons of the standard theme and will hence make the toolbar bigger than necessary.

Thanks for a great tool, Oleg! For the next version, if it's set to use the automatic proxy, could you consider *reloading* the proxy configuration URL after the proxy is turned on?

Ryan, I'm not sure what do you mean by "reloading" the proxy configuration URL. The only that ProxyButton does is to switch proxy type from direct to manual or automatic. All URLs and other things must be configured in FireFox itself and ProxyButton doesn't change anything except proxy type.

if you use a (remote) proxy config URL, and you start firefox when you're disconnected, it won't be able to load the proxy config file. when you later connect, and you want to use your proxy, you need to nudge firefox to reload the proxy config file from the URL. in firefox's proxy settings window, there's a Reload button next to the proxy config URL that does this.

i was hoping that, in the next version of proxybutton, you might add similar code to reload the proxy config URL when the proxy is turned on. i'm guessing it'd just be a single js call, but i have no idea what the call actually is. :P

I'm seeing delays on opening new browser windows with ProxyButton installed.

This is similar to comment 40 (Submitted by: Jukka Partanen). I'm seeing this on Firefox 1.0.4 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050519 Firefox/1.0.4).

With ProxyButton installed I get 10+ seconds of delay during which time all the Firefox windows hang. This happens for all new browser windows and Javascript pop-ups. Removing ProxyButton resolves the problem, new windows appear immediately.

Some combination of truss and pstack suggests that it's having a protracted conversation about fonts with the X server.

Replacing it with call to QueryInterface() method works much faster. You can diff two latest revisions of functions.js in cvs to see the differences in code if you're interested.

Or if you can't do it you can send me your list of installed extensions. If someone else reports about the same problem I'll compare your extensions lists to see what causes it.

First of all -- i love this lil plugin, saves me trouble of going through menus every time i'm bringing my laptop to and fro work :)
I have a feature suggestion though -- whenever the button is clicked and there are windows opened it would be nice if it prompts whether I want to refresh all opened windows. Cause what actually happens -- when the status restored and the proxy setting is wrong I get lotsa messages that the connection was refused of course. Then after clicking the proxy button I need to go through every window and click refresh in order to get its content. Automating this process would be a nice feature.

justin,
I don't think that we really need a dropdown for on/off - button click does the same thing and works perfectly. Also it's not a proxy manager but just a simple on/off proxy button. If you need to manage a couple of proxies maybe you should take a look at SwitchProxy extension instead of this one.

Just what I needed!

But in Thunderbird, the button doesn't change colour, so you can't tell whether it's on or off (except by the old manual method).

Two requests:

1. Is it possible to make the one button switch the proxy button for both Firefox and Thunderbird?

2. I really need it also to switch my default smtp server in Thunderbird, since the company server is only accessible on the company LAN with the company proxy, and the ISP server is only available off the comany LAN and with the proxy off.

It works in Thunderbird, checked with 1.5b2 with default theme. Also it was used in previous version and it worked. Maybe you have some conflicts with your theme or some of your extensions.

About your requests:
1. I don't think that it is possible because TB and FF use different profiles, chromes and are not connected with each other in any way.
2. My main priority is the Firefox and not Thunderbird so while it's possible to add this feature I don't think that it will be done any time soon.

I'm using TB 1.0.6 without any other extensions or themes. However, the button now seems to be changing colour, and the tool tip changes from "Turn proxy on" to "Turn proxy off", whereas previously, when the button wasn't changing colour, the tool tip said "Turn proxy on/off". Not sure what was going on - sounds like it had a spot of bother working out what the initial state was.

Brian, if it works on another computer that differs only in installed extensions set it means that there's a conflict between proxybutton and one of your extensions. You may try to find out what extension causes the problems by disabling them one-by-one until the problem gone. If you'll be able to track it - tell me the name of that extension and I'll try to look into it and fix it.

A simple feature request:

Add an option to run a certain program ONLY THE FIRST TIME that ProxyButton is activated, instead of every time. I use ProxyButton for safe browsing with Tor ( ) and Privoxy ( ), and it would be nice if I could run the Tor client when I activate the ProxyButton.

Additionally, it would be super-nice if I could run more than one program upon activation, so that both Privoxy and Tor could be started just by clicking the ProxyButton.

Thank you for this wonderful tool!

thank you for your good words, but I think that all of the goals mentioned by you can be easily reached by using scripts or bat-files. For example, to launch two programs on button-click just put 'em into the single bat-file and launch it instead of the programs themselves.

I love this concept, there is no need for a bulky toolbar, but, if you could, try and intergrate the abandoned SwitchProxy into this extension, SwitchProxy had a great interface where you could put a big proxy list into and it would just switch, that would be something that would be gret for this.

I'm not sure that I correctly understood your problem... So you are switching the proxy on with proxybutton and then after the restart in becomes switched off again? That's strange because proxybutton just changes the internal proxy settings of Firefox so clicking on this button is essentially the same as switching proxy from 'none' to 'manual' through FF's preferences.
Maybe another extension causes the reset of proxy setting. Try to use FF with a blank profile to see if it works without any potentially conflicting extensions.

First of all congratulations on the great work and on the fast responses you give to most posts!

I think that besides the 'Manual' and 'Automatic' proxy settings you could have an 'Import from OS Options' setting, that would cause proxybutton to use the proxy defined at the OS level (just like IE and Outlook Express use the settings defined in Internet Options). I don't know if this is possible since it implies the access of information external to firefox and very OS dependant.

Keep up the good work!

There're no proxy settions "at the OS level" and these "Internet Options" are actually just a shortcut to IE's options. If you're using Firefox then these options doesn't have any effect at all. So import of these options seems to me more like the feature of "File->Import" wizard and not of Proxybutton.

Andy, I'm not sure that it works with Mozilla - it was tested only with Firefox/Flock. But anyway, after installation right click on the toolbar, select customize and then drag&drop proxybutton's icon to the toolbar.

Hello,

I'd like to second the request for a keyboard shortcut - I use this extension on a laptop with a touchpad, and it would be much easier to use the keyboard to switch it on and off.

Otherwise, great extension. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for updating this. It works great with Fx 1.5, but I had a problem when I upgraded to ProxyButton v0.2.3.

It remapped a number of keys so that they all invoke the Proxy Switch function. In particular, both Page-Up and Page-Down have been remapped this way, which is not desirable

Reverting to 0.2.2 fixed the problem.

Is this a known problem? Am I supposed to do some extra step when I install 0.2.3? Thanks.

Jim D, no, that's not a known problems. I'm running 0.2.3 on Firefox v1.5 without any problems.
Seems like there's something wrong with your keyconfig extension, because the only thing proxybutton does is to add preference named "keyconfig.main.xxx_key__ProxyButton Switch" (you can see it in about:config). Everything else including remapping of buttons, etc depends on keyconfig.
So if something goes wrong this way maybe you have to check (or reintall?) your keyconfig.

Oleg,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried upgrading to ProxyButton 0.2.3 again, and this time I didn't have the problem. The only key that switches ProxyButton is the one that I assign.

I suspect that the problem was related to this point, which was mentioned by Dorando (author of keyconfig) on the keyconfig thread on the extensions forum (

"Interesting, ProxyButton 0.2.3 does a .setCharPref('keyconfig.main.xxx_key__ProxyButton Switch', '][][][proxybutton_switchProxy();]['); if there isn't a keyconfig.main.xxx_key__ProxyButton Switch pref already defined. This will cause keyconfig to add a without modifier, key, or keycode, which will cause that to be triggered on any non-frontend-assigned/non-single-letter key combo."

mike, Proxybutton can just switch your proxy on and off. If you need full-features proxy manager to handle a lot of proxies you can take a look at the "Switch Proxy" extension. Though I've heard there were some issues with it - but I didn't track it much so check it on yourself.

Proxybutton just switches the proxy the same way as you do through preferences. I don't know what the "Hide Ip Platinum" is but if you can change your proxy in FF by hand - proxybutton will work too.

NoStress,
Proxybutton just acts as an interface to FF's internal proxy switch and this one is global. So there's no easy way (if any at all) to change it to be tab-related.

Scott,
There're no defaults, proxybutton just places a named function for keyconfig without any keys assigned to it, so you can choose any keyboard shortcut you like.

I really, really like proxybutton. To bad it doesn't work (on my machine) with torbutton installed too. When i hoovered over the button (proxybutton) it showed a tooltip related to torbutton and i couldn't click the button (proxybutton) at all. If i disabled torbutton in the add-on window in firefox, the problem dissapeared. I know this problem occurs because both simply change the connection settings in firefox, but i found it weird that i couldn't even click the button. Both buttons didn't do anything when installed both. Is there a possibility for making them work both at the same time or will they never work together without more intrusive changes to firefox?

Problem encountered on Firefox 2.0.0.3, ProxyButton 0.2.7, Torbutton 1.0.4 on Windows XP.

Without torbutton installed, this add-on (or extension or whatever) works great though! Thanks for making it.

peace,

Sorry for taking so long to fix Torbutton's issue, guys, it's been quite a busy month. Anyway, update was just sent to the mirrors and will be available soon. Please note that Proxybutton doesn't modify proxy settings in any way, it just switched back and forth between direct and proxied connection, so if you have proxy modified by Torbutton then Proxybutton will be unable to switch back to the original proxy.
Anyway, if you have a reason to use both these addons in parallel - now you can do it.
Please let me know if you'll find any bugs in this update, it's possible that I missed something.

recluse,
it seems that you have to check your proxy settings when the Torbutton is disabled and see if it sets something wrong there.

concerned807,
Proxybutton should work just fine with 2.0.0.4 and any future update as it doesn't use any low-level operations so it shouldn't be broken by updates.

Thanks for the update, Oleg! It works quite well for me and there also has been positive feedback from other Sunbird users.

Best regards
Robert

Please, could you make a version, which supports older Mozilla based browsers (like Netscape 7.1).
I tried all "proxy" extensions (proxybutton, quickproxy etc.), but they all are only for Firefox and don't work with my N7.
Thank you.

I love your tool , tx!

My needs are similar to those of question [75] but I propose a different solution.
I am looking for a method to turn proxy on or off on startup, to avoid loading with the wrong settings the huge set of tabs that my firefox starts with ...the way I see to do this are:
- command line option
- a popup BEFORE loading the pages at startup
- a positive and/or negative mask based on IP address of local machine or the one's of the gateway that allow the extension to know which network firefox is connected to (e.g. 10.180.*.* = work; 192.168.*.* = home for myself)

...each of this choice can be enabled via extension options, I guess.

A minimal solution (although not feasible for my network) is to have an option that tells the extension to turn proxy on or off at every startup.

Let me know if you find this interesting and need some help, bye and Thank You.

Another request for Firefox 3.0 support! This is one of those few addons I have to go without that makes life in 3.0 betas difficult!

ProxyButton with partial FF3.0 support was just released. To get it to work you have to disable checking of secure updates for extensions - add " extensions.checkUpdateSecurity" boolean key to the about:config and set it to false. Proper version will be released later.

Also another feature was added - support of "-proxy" command line switch to control initial status of proxy as requested by Luca [166] above. See the home page for details on how to use it.
