Features & Capabilities

Proxy Toggle is a handy Firefox extension allowing users to quickly switch between their system-set (off) and manually-set (on) proxy configurations. It adds a simple toggle button to the browser toolbar, enabling seamless proxy control without navigating through complex settings.

The extension operates by utilizing Firefox's existing proxy settings located under Options > General > Network Settings > Configure Proxy Access to the Internet. Users set their preferred default proxy state by adjusting Firefox's settings with the extension disabled and then re-enable Proxy Toggle to maintain that setting on startup. Note that the add-on requires permission to operate in Private Windows (Firefox 67+). This tool is ideal for users frequently switching proxies for privacy or network testing purposes, providing an efficient and straightforward solution for proxy management.

Is Proxy Toggle Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Proxy Toggle requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Proxy Toggle has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
