After hours of batch scripting, I give up trying to get LibreWolf to work
with a proxy using the FoxyProxy Extension. Nothing I tried works.
The instant I enable a proxy, the LibraWolf browser stops the connection.
I don't know if it's the browser, the extension or the proxy.
But here's the latest version of the batch file I was working on all night.
http_proxies.txt - all working HTTP proxies
socks_proxies.txt - any SOCKS4 survivors
foxyproxies.xml - ready to import straight into FoxyProxy (Import tab)
foxyproxies.json - ready to import straight into FoxyProxy (Options tab)
dead_proxies.txt - everything that failed
debug_log.txt - holds raw curl attempts for debugging
Step-by-Step: Importing foxyproxies.xml into FoxyProxy on LibreWolf
1. Install FoxyProxy Extension
Open LibreWolf and go to FoxyProxy┬ Firefox Add-ons page
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/
Click Add to Firefox (LibreWolf should allow it if extensions are enabled)
2. Open FoxyProxy Settings
Click the FoxyProxy icon in the toolbar
Choose Options
3. Import Your XML File
Inside the FoxyProxy settings page, look for the Import/Export tab
Click the Import tab
You get four choices:
Import FoxyProxy Account (this is for syncing with the cloud)
Import from URL (this expects a web-hosted config file)
Import Proxy List (this is for plain text)
Import from older versions <== use this for XML
Select your foxyproxies.xml file from disk
Confirm the import (it may warn you about overwriting existing settings)
But nothing happens.
a. I select "Import from older versions" & a yellow "Import" button shows
b. I click that "Import" button and a file browser shows up
c. I select foxyproxies.xml & tap "Open"
But nothing happens.
4. Verify Your Proxies
After import, you should see all your proxies listed.
You can enable/disable them or set patterns as needed
Here's the latest batch script if you want to try it yourself.
It works. It's just LibreWolf and/or FoxyProxy that doesn't work.
