Proxy Toggle

Proxy Toggle is a Firefox browser extension designed to easily switch between manual and system proxy settings with a single click.

Overview

Proxy Toggle leverages Mozilla's browser API to read and modify the browser's proxy settings. It does not store any data; it simply provides a convenient shortcut to enable or disable proxy settings within the browser, making it ideal for working with web proxies such as Burp and ZAP.

  • Green Button: Indicates that manual proxy is enabled.
  • White Button: Indicates that system proxy is enabled.
• Proxy Configuration: When manual proxy is enabled, you can update the host and port using the input fields and click 'Update' to apply changes.
• No Data Storage: The extension only reads and modifies browser proxy settings without storing any information.
