Proxy on/off button on Firefox

Post by Andbks »

Hello guys. This is my first post here, I'm a Brazilian, my english is a little rusty and I hope you have some patience with me hehe.

So, I'm try to learn how to do a button to switch my proxy configuration on or off, but I realy don't know how to start. There is some material on the web where I can learn that? Or if you please just can show me something like this I really appreciate that. Thanks!

Moving to Firefox Support.

If all you really want is a button to toggle the proxy on and off, an extension to provide that already exists -- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... roxy-51740

If you want to learn about creating extensions for Firefox, please post back here and I'll move this to a forum where you will be more likely to get assistance.

Hi DanRaisch,

I really thank your suggestion, which is helping me a lot, but after some research on "buttons" and toolbars I started to get interested in the development of this applications, so I would appreciate information about this content .
