We used FoxyProxy in Tails until Tails 1.1 [1]. At that time we used it
to used to same browser to access Tor, I2P, and LAN.
I *think* we disabled it because we had no more use for it (but not
because we were unhappy with its behavior). So I suggest you:
* Have a look at our source code if you want to know how it was integrated.
* Search for "FoxyProxy" in our Redmine to spot some pending issues like
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7479.
I personally don't have the knowledge to tell you much more.
