- Chinese (traditional) translation -- Thanks Hugo-C
- Russian translation -- Thanks Vadim
New in FoxyProxy Standard 7.5 (Jul 21, 2020)
- Import Proxy Lists! Long requested feature. See https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/wiki/Import-Proxy-List
- Simplified Chinese translation -- Thanks FeralMeow at https://github.com/wsxy162
- Display "Synchronize Settings" for new installations when there are no proxies defined. Reported at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/83
- Fixed: Import Settings bug especially painful for people using the AWS Management Guide at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-connect-master-node-proxy.html . Reported at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/76

- Fixed "log limit ignored" bug at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/58
- Fixed spelling errors. Contributed by cheese1. Thank you!
New in FoxyProxy Standard 7.4.2 (Dec 13, 2019)
- Improved Logging — see URLs that matched blacklist patterns and URLs that didn't match anything are now in their own section.
- Patterns mode now exists even if there are no white patterns defined. This was the behavior of FoxyProxy before 7.x. Its absence when no white patterns are defined makes sense (no proxy will ever be used), but has been a source of tremendous confusion. Discussed at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/49 but also many other places.
- When adding a new proxy, Add whitelist pattern to match all URLs is now on by default. Discussed at https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/issues/49.
- On the patterns window, added new button for Add whitelist pattern to match all URLs similar to the existing button Add black patterns to prevent this proxy being used for localhost & intranet/private IP addresses.
- Patterns Cheat Sheet improvements — more examples and text explaining that blacklist patterns take precedence over whitelist patterns.
- Change an i18n key name so it works in chrome, too (chrome does not allow periods in key names).
- Remove unneeded console log messages.
- Faster deletion of patterns (faster animation)
New in FoxyProxy Standard 7.4.1 (Oct 22, 2019)
- Escape button works to close the current FoxyProxy window and return to the previous (if there is a previous).
- Dialog box color changes for consistency
- Import optimizations and increase on import file size from 5 MB to 10 MB
- Show help text if no proxy settings are defined; hide all proxy selectors too including 'turn off'.
- Fixes so that FoxyProxy Basic can share the same codebase as FoxyProxy Standard again. Version number alignment: for the first time since FoxyProxy Basic
- Was introduced, it will share the same version number as FoxyProxy Standard.
- Exported settings now include FoxyProxy edition -- Standard or Basic. However, they are interchangeable. This is for easier debugging of problems.
- Removed link to forums.getfoxyproxy.org. We are shutting the forums down. People just don't use forums anymore; we only get spam there. And have many other support channels: email, ticket system, github, facebook, twitter, chat, etc.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 6.3 (May 27, 2018)
- Turn Firefox Sync on/off - much requested feature
- Some further input validation
- Deleted Private Browsing Data by clicking the eraser button. This deletes: cache, cookies, indexedDB storage, DOM local storage, plugin data, and service worker data, but not stored passwords, browsing and form history, download history, webSQL and server-bound certificates.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 6.2 (Dec 23, 2017)
- Ability to turn logging on/off.
- New icon on main page for "What's my IP address?", previously only in the About page.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 6.1.9 (Dec 23, 2017)
- Emergency: Fix bug whereby FoxyProxy prompts for proxy username/password (by restoring required permission "webRequestBlocking" -- it is required for http/ssl proxies that use authentication
New in FoxyProxy Standard 6.1.8 (Dec 23, 2017)
- Active proxy is displayed in toolbar with title and color
- Firefox does not freeze when editing large numbers of patterns (6000+). Note this freeze
- only occured when opening the pattern editor in 6.1.7 and below, not when using FoxyProxy to
- surf the web
- Pattern editor now uses in-place editing instead of opening a new page
- Pagination of pattern editor yields huge performance increases when editing large number of patterns
- Removed required permission "webRequestBlocking" (it wasn't used)
- Increased spacing between proxy entries in the toolbar proxy selector
- Proxy name/title on the main options window is now clickable for editing (like clicking the Edit button)
- Changed "Turn Off All Proxies" to "Turn Off FoxyProxy (Use Firefox Settings)" due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1398900
New in FoxyProxy Standard 6.1.7 (Nov 18, 2017)
- bug fix for "Send DNS through SOCKS5 proxy?" problems

- Better error handling when importing legacy settings.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 6.1 (Nov 13, 2017)
- Please import your old FoxyProxy settings using the Import button!
- Firefox 57+ is significantly different than previous Firefox versions. I was forced to re-write 10 years of mature FoxyProxy code from scratch. There are many missing features, and in almost all cases that is due to Firefox 57+ limitations or bugs (for example, custom-colored toolbar icons). The UI also had to change; I could no longer make FoxyProxy look like a native application. It now looks more like a traditional web site.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 4.6.5 (Sep 4, 2017)
- Fixed HTTP Basic Auth bug, introduced by an earlier release, that breaks HTTP Basic Auth but only for Firefox 50 and earlier
- Fixed import/export of settings

New in FoxyProxy Standard 4.6.3 (Jan 25, 2017)
- Fixed HTTP Basic Auth bug introduced in previous version: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1308817
New in FoxyProxy Standard 4.6.2 (Jan 24, 2017)
- Fixed bug in 4.6.1 that prevented connections to SOCKS (no auth) proxy servers
- Error message when trying to use SOCKS (with auth) proxy servers on versions of Firefox before 45.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 4.6.1 (Jan 24, 2017)
- SSL/HTTPS proxies now supported! optionally with authentication). SSL/HTTPS proxies encrypt traffic between you and the proxy server. Do not use unless you know for certain that your proxy server supports this -- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378637. Note that FoxyProxy proxy servers (https://getfoxyproxy.org/order) support this on port 4443
- Authentication for SOCKS proxies now supported. Previously, we supported SOCKS proxies but not with authentication -- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122752. Thanks for help from Felix Shao.
- Fixes for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1308817 -- HTTP basic auth goes directly to 401 error page when foxyproxy is enabled
- Fixes for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322293 -- FoxyProxy doesn't work in Nightly, due to use of no-longer-supported "for each" statement
- Prevent cluttering the about:neterror?e=proxyConnectFailure page
- Change references of the word 'host' to 'server'. It appears some people do not know what is meant by 'host', and the term does seem dated.http://www.ghacks.net/2015/06/19/how-to-disable-the-firefox-40-add-on-signing-requirement/
- Removed some dead links (pattern sharing, proxy sharing, etc)
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083458 -- Remove SpiderMonkey support for expression closures (shorthand function syntax)
- Minor code changes to avoid "JavaScript strict warnings" (components/foxyproxy.js, line 1268: ReferenceError: reference to undefined property "_maxSize")
- Strip http:// and https:// when user prepends it to proxy server names
- There was no 4.6 release. This release is numbered 4.6.1 because 4.6 was only partially uploaded to addons.mozilla.org. There is was no apparent, fast way to delete 4.6 and so AMO prevented a "new" 4.6 XPI from being uploaded. https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/new-version-of-existing-addon-submitted-partially-now-cannot-complete/13124
New in FoxyProxy Standard 4.5.7 (Dec 10, 2016)

- Fix for Firefox 4b9 compatibility.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 2.22.2 (Dec 13, 2010)
- Improved support for Firefox 4 beta. Known bug: context-menus are translucent on Windows 7.
- Fix for Tools menu indent problem on Windows - thanks Nils Maier of DownThemAll!
- Changing statusbar default display. Previously, the statusbar displayed (by default) "FoxyProxy: " as well as the FoxyProxy icon. Since color-per-proxy was introduced, it doesn't make much sense to keep the "FoxyProxy: " text there by default. Mode can be inferred from icon color. Moreover, many addons are trying to minimize their statusbar footprint these days. It makes sense to remove this default option. The new default is to display just the FoxyProxy icon. You can restore the text by clicking Ctrl+F2 then Global Settings tab-> Indicators->Show mode (text) on statusbar. This does not affect upgraded installations; only new installations.
- Changed references of foxyproxy.mozdev.org to getfoxyproxy.org

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.

- 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
- Conditional builds for FoxyProxy Basic
- locale updates
- removed id-ID and mk-MK locales since they've been empty for ages

New in FoxyProxy Standard 2.9 (Apr 27, 2009)
- Fixed bug preventing FoxyProxy from working in Slovakian. Discussed at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/foxyproxy-version-2814-dosnt-work-xml-parsing-error and http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/getting-error-reading-string-resource-every-time-i-start-mozilla#comment-1424

New in FoxyProxy Standard 2.8.11 (Jan 10, 2009)
- Fixed bug whereby disabled plug-ins were enabled after Firefox is restarted
- 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.

New in FoxyProxy Standard 2.8.8 (Sep 29, 2008)
New in FoxyProxy Standard 2.8.5 (Sep 3, 2008)
- Fix for PAC loading problem discussed at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/pac-support. You should now remove all PAC-specific patterns from FoxyProxy.
- Loading, testing, and viewing PAC files now always bypasses the Firefox cache as discussed at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/intranet-pac-file-and-alternate-no-proxy-journey.
- Performance improvements executing PAC files during web surfing.
- Improved error reporting for many kinds of PAC errors.

- 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
New in FoxyProxy Standard 2.8.4 (Jul 7, 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.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 2.8.3 (Jul 1, 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.
New in FoxyProxy Standard 2.8.1 (Jun 26, 2008)
- Fixed bug whereby PAC files no longer loaded in Firefox 2.0.x. This bug was introduced in FoxyProxy 2.8 and was a result of adding support for multiple simultaneous PAC files.

- Updated help docs and corresponding links in extension
- Translation updates for many translations. Hungarian (hu-HU) and Macedonian (mk-MK) translations started.
