| 2.22 | 26 August 2010 |
- Added import/export of settings to FoxyProxy's File menu. Requested here.
- Fixed spacing issue on Windows whereby images in buttons and tabs were crammed too close to their button/tab text
- Locale updates, including the newly added Latvian translation
- Removed extraneous stdout messages that got included in 2.21.3 (or so)
- Version bumps; officially dropping support for Firefox 3.0.x -- I'll see if I can bring it back later. The previous FoxyProxy Standard release (2.21.4) doesn't work with Firefox 3.0 already due to the Firefox 4.0 porting efforts. Unfortunately, that release wasn't labeled as such so Firefox 3.0 users were automatically upgraded.
- Credit to OCS in the about box

|
| 2.19.1 | 21 February 2010 |
- Warnings and user-confirmation required when clicking proxy:// links. Requested here.

|
| 2.19 | 15 February 2010 |
- Support for the proxy:// protocol. Read about it here. Welcome, Selenium Community!

- 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
|
| 2.18 | 21 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
|
| 2.17 | 12 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!)

- 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.
|
| 2.16.1 | 30 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.

- Locale upates
- Vietnamese translation -- thanks loveleeyounga!
- fr-FR locale changed to fr per BabelZilla

- Color now displayed in FoxyProxy Options dialog as requested here
- New, better colorpicker for selecting color-per-proxy -- Thanks, Jesper Hansen!
- Narrowed CSS specificity for FoxyProxy's tree styling to prevent interference with
addons such as . This also fixes the long-standing
bug in sometimes Firefox versiosn whereby the Firefox addressbar/awesomebar shows blank lines when autosuggesting websites.
- Removed useless "mode" colum in options dialog tree view
- New proxy names default to host/ip address (if one was entered), otherwise they default back to the original "New Proxy" name. Requested here.
- Tooltips for proxies, when listed in any menu, show the proxy notes field (used to replicate the proxy name). Requested here.
- Better debugging for failed proxy filtering (as requested somewhere in the forums)
- Differentiation between FoxyProxy Basic and FoxyProxy Plus in labels within the application. Previously, such labels just said "FoxyProxy" instead of "FoxyProxy Basic" or "FoxyProxy Standard". This makes it clearer to the user which edition he's using, hopefully making support easier.
- Support for closing FoxyProxy dialogs/windows on OS/X with Command-W
- Removed extraneous dump() statements
- Better SOCKS DNS handling; still needs work, though
- Conditional builds for FoxyProxy Basic
- Locale updates
- Removed id-ID and mk-MK locaes since they've been empty for ages
|
| 2.14 | 20 August 2009 |
- Command-line argument now accepted:
-foxyproxy-mode [patterns|disabled|<id of a proxy as specified in foxyproxy.xml's proxy element>|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.
Feature was requested here
and here.
- If FoxyProxy's Global Settings are set to "Toggle between current mode and disabled"
for the statusbar or toolbar, the new mode wasn't restored on Firefox restart.
Reported here.
- Moved Tools Menu menuitem after the devToolsSeparator as requested here.
- If the user enters the port as part of the hostname, parse it and put it into the port field automatically.
Thanks, Sebastian Lisken <Sebastian dot Lisken at gmx dot net>
- Changed donation link
- Fixed typo as specified here.
- Removed redundant regex code in parsing QuickAdd and AutoAdd patterns, improving the performance when special strings (e.g., *://${3}${6}/*)
are expanded
- Translation updates
|
| 2.13 | 12 July 2009 |
- Fixed bug introduced in 2.11 whereby the FoxyProxy Tools menu item and FoxyProxy context-menu item always appear, even when
FoxyProxy->Global Settings->Show icon in the Firefox tools menu and
FoxyProxy->Global Settings->Show icon context-menu are unchecked. Reported here and
here.
- Translation updates
|
| 2.12 | 12 July 2009 |
- Fixed icon display issues on Firefox 3.5 as reported here.
- Fixed "Copy Selection" so it copies patterns, too, including temporary patterns. Reported here.
- Translation updates
|
| 2.11 | 11 July 2009 |
- Custom colors per proxy -- thanks, Jesper Hansen !!
- Smooth icon animations -- thanks, Jesper Hansen !!
- Fixed the huge width of the AddEditProxy dialog so it's not so huge
- Changed all the donate/buy buttons and links
- Added Jesper Hansen to the About box
- When adding a new proxy, the Proxy Details tab is now the default tab. This contributes towards faster addition of new proxies (one less click)
- Warning message for "You didn't enter and enable any whitelisted (inclusive) URL patterns ..." now has a "Do not show this message again" checkbox
for better usability to people who use FoxyProxy like SwitchProxy (i.e., load all URLs through one proxy at a time)
- Revamp of "Do not show this message again" checkboxes so they can more easily be added for all sorts of annoying, recurring questions in FoxyProxy. As
a side-effect, your previous selections for the two existing "Do not show this message again" checkboxes are reset after upgrading to this version. One
of these is "The pattern has no wildcard characters ..." and the other is only for Thunderbird users ("You have chosen a non-SOCKS proxy. POP3, IMAP, and all
other email protocols must use SOCKS proxies; they cannot use HTTP proxies. Continue anyway?")
- Fixed longstanding bug whereby regular expression special characters ($, ., +, (, ), and ^) couldn't be used in URL patterns
- Ability to disable resetting of icon colors after URLs have finished loading via a "hidden preferenence" (i.e., no GUI currently).
Change the attribute /foxyproxy[@resetIconColors] from true to false and restart Firefox.
This enables you to easily see which proxy was last used (instead of having to use the FoxyProxy Logging tab).
- 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.
- Log sorting by clicking on a column -- contributed by Nathan S. Watson-Haigh !!
- Open log URLs in tabs -- contributed by Nathan S. Watson-Haigh !!
- Copy URLs of log rows to clipboard
- Ability to delete log rows
- Fixed launching of URLs on Sonbird and other platforms
- Ability to sort patterns as requested here
- Various minor GUI changes concerning button placement and text, specifically in regards to our commercial offerings

this bug, which I haven't had time to fix.
- More options for QuickAdd activation - context-menu
- Added Logging->Refresh to advanced menus
- Added button Get FoxyProxy Plus
- Added button and link to paid proxy services
- Significant work towards Change ip:port of desired proxy based on the highlighted text.
Should be ready for next release.
|
| 2.8.14 | 19 March 2009 |
- Emergency fix for non-English locales. Problem introduced in 2.8.13 due to poor non-English locale testing. Sorry for the inconvenience! 2.8.13 was only available for an hour or two.

|
| 2.8.13 | 18 March 2009 |
- Bug fix for intermittent
string resource error

- Version compatibility bump for Firefox
|
| 2.8.12 | 6 March 2009 |
|
| 2.8.11 | 9 January 2009 |
- Fixed bug whereby disabled plug-ins were enabled after Firefox is restarted (discussed
here and
here)
- Absolute filenames are no longer used to store the FoxyProxy settings file. Use of an absolute filename
resulted in FoxyProxy settings not persisting (without a LOT of manual work) when moving Firefox profiles to another computer,
restoration of Firefox
profile backups to another hard drive, sharing of Firefox profiles across multi-boot computers
(roaming profile), and when restoring profile
backups using tools like FEBE,
MozBackup, etc.
- GUI changes to warn users when moving the FoxyProxy settings file out of its default location (the Firefox profile)
- Overhaul of how FoxyProxy settings file handling is performed
- Fixed bug affecting corrupt or unreadable FoxyProxy settings file. A new foxyproxy.xml wasn't properly recreated and user wasn't being notified.
- Fix for OS/X users that had problems displaying sliding notifications (discussed here)
- Fixed interference with Google Toolbar search history (discussed here)
- Removed untranslated locales af-AZ (Afrikaans) and vi-VN (Vietnamese)
- Translation updates
|
| 2.8.10 | 24 December 2008 |
- Version bumps for Firefox, Songbird, and Flock
- Fixed bug on Linux (and possibly OS/X) whereby right-clicking on toolbar didn't show context-menu if that was the selected option in Global Settings

- Changed help menu item in options dialog and context menus from http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/quickstart.html to http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/help.html
- Translation updates
|
| 2.8.9 | 2 October 2008 |

|
| 2.8.6 | 28 September 2008 |
- Worked around Firefox 2.x bug whereby FoxyProxy caused Firefox 2.0.0.17 to crash when visiting an HTTPS website. Discussed
here. The Firefox bug is discussed here.
- Editing QuickAdd/AutoAdd generated patterns now works again. Discussed here, here, and here.
- The help page now opens upon new installation of FoxyProxy. The release notes (this page) open upon upgrade of FoxyProxy, although this latter behavior appears flaky in Firefox 2.x. No cause for alarm; it won't crash Firefox :)
- The Tor Wizard starts at a more appropriate time during startup on Firefox 3 and new FoxyProxy installation. Specifically, the wizard now starts after the browser window has completely loaded and restored, making the wizard look more appropriate. Previously, the wizard opened before any browser window had opened. This also has the effect of the last page of the wizard (where you enter patterns) appear correctly styled, unlike in previous FoxyProxy versions.
- Fixed bugs in the QuickAdd and AutoAdd dialogs that display when clicking the "Define" button on the QuickAdd and AutoAdd tabs. These dialogs weren't correctly populated with previously-entered data.
- Fixed bug whereby the QuickAdd notification dialog (Alt-F2) and AutoAdd notification dialog were incorrectly displaying URL patterns and the "Temporary" checkbox value
- Duplicate patterns are now (once again) prevented when using QuickAdd and AutoAdd to add new URL patterns. Discussed here.

- Translation updates
|
| 2.8.5 | 02 September 2008 |
- Fix for PAC loading problem discussed here. You should now remove all PAC-specific patterns from FoxyProxy.

- Performance improvements executing PAC files during web surfing.
- Improved error reporting for many kinds of PAC errors.
- When testing PAC with the "Test" button, sliding notifications have been replaced with more appropriate message boxes.
- Fixed incorrect informational popup as described here.
- Some text updates for clarity. For example, "You didn't enter and enable any whitelisted (inclusive) URL patterns. This means the proxy won't be used. Continue anyway?" is changed to "You didn't enter and enable any whitelisted (inclusive) URL patterns. This means the proxy won't be used unless FoxyProxy is set to "Use Proxy %S for all URLs". Continue anyway?"
- Translation updates.
- Firefox version compatibility bumped to 3.1b1pre.
|
| 2.8.4 | 05 July 2008 |
- Fixed problem when adding a feed (RSS/ATOM) to Firefox through the feed image in the address bar. feed:// URLs are meant to be handled internally by Firefox and
not passed to a proxy. This was originally fixed in FoxyProxy 2.6 but seems to have regressed. The original discussion of this problem is here (old forums). The newer discussion is here.
|
| 2.8.3 | 30 June 2008 |
- Fixed annoying PAC file loaded dialog on startup. This only affects people using PAC files on certain platforms. It appears related to having lots of extensions installed, or at least extensions which significantly slow down browser startup time.
|
| 2.8.2 | 28 June 2008 |
|
| 2.8.1 | 25 June 2008 |
- Fixed bug whereby PAC files no longer loaded in Firefox 2.0.x as described here. This bug was introduced in FoxyProxy 2.8 and
was a result of adding support for multiple simultaneous PAC files.
|
| 2.8 | 24 June 2008 |
- Home pages now always load through the proper proxy. This required a major rewrite of most FoxyProxy code.
- Many user interface fixes, updates, changes
- Fixed FoxyProxy windows getting bigger and bigger after each opening
- Fixed toolbar button sizing and spacing fix as reported here
- Fixed mode synchronization in Options dialog described here
- Fixed support for multiple simultaneous PAC files as reported here
- Support for Flock (again), as requested here. Note I've only done minimal testing of FoxyProxy with Flock.
- Quickadd enhancements and performance improvements (e.g., you can now add "temporary" patterns as requested here
- Autoadd enhancements and performance improvements. Autoadd is now actually usable on many web pages, although there are still performance issues on large pages like the new Yahoo! Mail.
- Fixed resource leak when deleting a proxy that auto-loads PAC files
- Removed lots of cruft. Enormous amounts of refactoring. Other fixes and minor changes.
- Updated help docs and corresponding links in extension
- Translation updates for many translations. Hungarian (hu-HU) and Macedonian (mk-MK) translations started.
- Dropped support for Firefox 1.0 and 1.5. FoxyProxy may still work with these version of Firefox, but I don't have the time to test against them.
|
| 2.7.5 | 14 June 2008 |
- Fixed duplicate "Show Options Dialog" in Global Settings->StatusBar Activation->Middle Click and Global Settings->StatusBar Activation->Right Click

|
| 2.7.1 | 03 March 2008 |
- Configuration change to work around an issue with the Songbird Addons website (bug # 7050). No functional changes were made between versions 2.7.1 and 2.7.
|
| 2.7 | 03 March 2008 |
- Support for Songbird 0.4 and above.
- Added ability for fixed-width status bar, requested by many users in the FoxyProxy Forums. See
the new option Fixed width on the Global Settings tab.
- Patterns can now be case-insensitive. When you upgrade to version 2.7, existing patterns are converted to be case-insensitive even though the default behavior
of FoxyProxy prior to 2.7 was for patterns to be case-sensitive. The reason for this conversion is that we anticipate most users will want their patterns to be case-insensitive.
- Various minor bugfixes
- Updated translations.
- Removed Hungarian translation since it's been abandoned by the translator. Please join us on Babelzilla if you'd like to take over the Hungarian translation or convert FoxyProxy to another language.
|
| 2.6.2 | 16 December 2007 |
- Fixed bug introduced in 2.6.1 described here (FoxyProxy automatically
disables itself after restart)
- Updated some translations.

- Bug fix for feed:// URLs (discussed here and elsewhere in the forums).
- Bug fix: If Firefox is configured to use a PAC file, disabling FoxyProxy (from a previously enabled state) didn't allow the user to navigate anywhere because
Firefox wasn't loading the PAC file. The PAC file is now forcefully loaded in this case, enabling immediate browser functionality.
|
| 2.5.5 | 10 December 2007 |
- QuickAdd bugs fixed (here and here)
- More intelligent PAC file loading (here)
|
| 2.5.4 | 22 November 2007 |
- Changes for Firefox 3.x compatbility.
|
| 2.5.3 | 3 April 2007 |
- Fixes a bug when upgrading from FoxyProxy 2.4.1 which mistakenly checked the "SOCKS proxy?" checkbox for all proxies.
If you upgraded from 2.4.1 to 2.5.1 or 2.5.2 and connections to websites time out, uncheck "SOCKS proxy?" in proxy
settings.
|
| 2.5.2 | 25 March 2007 |
- This emergency release fixes a problem in 2.5.1 whereby FoxyProxy, when being upgraded from the previous release (2.4.1), would corrupt SOCKS port numbers. This led some people to believe that SOCKS support was broken in 2.5.1. Please accept my apologies for the broken 2.5.1 release. This release has been more thoroughly tested for upgrade bugs.
|
| 2.5.1 | 24 March 2007 |
- QuickAdd - use Alt-F2 to quickly add any URL to a proxy and reload it through a proxy
- Fixed small memory leak which occured when a browser was closed

automatically selected after being added/edited)
- Fixed accuracy of logging and throbbing when certain error conditions are encountered
- New column in the logging tab named PAC Result that displays the result of the proxy auto-configuration logic for that URL (i.e., which proxy was used to load the URL
as calculated from the PAC)
- New column in the logging tab named Error Message which displays any associated error(s)
- Removed restriction to use AutoAdd for proxies which are DIRECT
- Fixed strings bug which only appeared in FoxyProxy on Iceweasel
|
| 2.4.1 | 19 January 2007 |
- Statusbar text changes as the active proxy changes! Ensure Global Settings->Indicators->Show mode (text) on statusbar is checked.
- Animated FoxyProxy icons (statusbar, toolbar, context-menu, Firefox tools menu) show when a proxy is in use! Ensure one or more of the
icons are visible by checking any of the Global Settings->Indicators checkboxes.
For details on this, please read this FAQ entry.
- Dynamic tooltips for all icons (toolbar, statusbar, toolsmenu, context menu) that show the proxy currently in use.
- Revamped AutoAdd->URL Pattern Template
so there are now 16 possible substitution strings instead of just ${1}.
These new substitution strings will also be used for the QuickAdd URL Pattern Template in release 2.5.
Although FoxyProxy attempts to convert v2.3 URL Pattern Templates so that instances of ${1} are changed to
${3}${6}, you should confirm this by visiting AutoAdd->URL Pattern Template if you use AutoAdd.
- Fixed bug that preventing the enabling/disabling of patterns in the Add/Edit Pattern dialog (bug introduced in version 2.3).
Reported here.
- Fixed duplicate log entries as reported here.
- Minor GUI fixes and enhancements: in the primary options dialog the OK button is now on all tabs--not just the proxies tab,
more submenus when Use Advanced Menus is enabled, better grouping of options in the Global Settings tab, new layout for the
AutoAdd tab, etc.
- More work towards QuickAdd
- More concise and consistent wording and phrasing throughout the application.
- Fixed hyperlinks in About dialog
- More translations (24 total) and translation updates
- Lots more!
|
| 2.3 | 25 December 2006 |
- Added simple/advanced menu toggle so the menus on the toolbar button, statubar, context-menu, and Firefox Tools menu are easier to navigate. The old-style menus can be used when in advanced menu mode.
- Improved all icons
- Added "Close" button to main FoxyProxy dialog (primarily for Mac users)
- Added option to show the current FoxyProxy mode as text on statusbar (like in versions 1.x) in addition to the FoxyProxy statubar icon
