Firefox consumes too much RAM, slows down my system too much... but yes, it is nice. I found "switchproxy" to be a more useful addon to quickly switch between the wwwoffle-online daemon and the wwwoffle-offline daemon. All the browsers have the "dirty ram" bug, having to be restarted constantly, the Camino browser consumes half the RAM, so has to be restarted less often.foxyproxy firefox extension can switch between proxies, either on click or by regexpr filtering. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464 .
I tried to implement Andrews suggestion i.e. localhost:8080/http/URL in code, but it caused some sort of socket overflow and some of the data was missed. (a wait-state somewhere would fix?) Perhaps this is particular to MacOS. I found that using an external request to the CURL program allowed me to address my offline proxy localhost:8082, without any overflow problems, the problem being that this is non-portable and would work on my system only.
