Firefox plug in request
I use IE for 95% of my web browsing. It is mostly out of habit, and it seems to open faster when I just want to look something quickly up on the web. However, when developing I spend half my time in FireFox and IE. I routinely use Fiddler to check out some of the chatter of my applications.
When I open Fiddler is automatically hooks into the IE 6 chain and I see the traffic, local and otherwise. IE 7 does not do this automatically and is why I haven't upgraded my machine to IE 7, but I digress. You manually have to set up a proxy when using FireFox to "localhost:8888". 8888 is the proxy port that Fiddler listens to. When Fiddler isn't open you can't see any pages.
Finally the meat of my post. I'd like a plug in for firefox that would first try 8888 as a proxy and if that didn't exist, it would remove the proxy port and see if it had connectivity. Right now when I open firefox I have the choice of either opening Fiddler so I can browse with FireFox, or I can go into the settings of FireFox and remove the proxy server information.
I just don't have the time now to create the "Fiddler Switcher" plug in for firefox. So I'm going to ask everyone else to do something for me. Please write it. I'll donate for it because of the lost time and productivity this issue is causing me.
