What is the relationship between FoxyProxy and Tor?
There is a common misunderstanding that Tor is required to use FoxyProxy. This is not true. FoxyProxy has nothing to do with Tor. FoxyProxy is not Tor. FoxyProxy does not require Tor (this list has FoxyProxy’s requirements). If used with Tor, FoxyProxy efficiently loads only the URLs you define through the slow Tor network. All other URLs load through your direct internet connection or other proxies, as you define. The benefit of using FoxyProxy with Tor is simply that you can use your fast internet connection to load normal URLs and the Tor network to load sensitive URLs without constantly changing Firefox proxy settings.
