Gproxy - A Must Have Firefox Proxy Manage Add-on

Many users consider Firefox a more secure and convenient browser. However, when used it with multi proxies, they had to change its proxy setting manually, and reverse the setting after use. GProxy aims to solve this problem. GProxy is a Firefox/Thunderbird add-on (tool bar and status bar icon) that helps users to manage and switch proxy settings easily. It supports GPass, FreeGate, UltraSurf, Garden, and other proxy systems, with Chinese, English, and Farsi interface.

To use this add-on, first you should download it from Here. You can save the gproxy.xpi file to the folder where you store portable Firefox. Let's say save it to d:\FirefoxPortable.

After the download, start running your portable Firefox. Select "File" from the top menu and then select "Open file". Browse to d:\FirefoxPortable and open gproxy.xpi. Firefox will ask you if you want to install this add on, choose "yes" and install.

Restart your firefox and you'll find the add on shown intool bar. Right click the tool bar and select "Preferences" to load the Gproxy options. See screenshot below.
