Using Firefox and you've lost all FoxyProxy settings? FoxyProxy updated from 7.4.2 to 8.2 and you encountered an update bug. You have 3 choices:

## Downgrade to 7.4.2

1. Download https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/releases/download/7.4.2/foxyproxy_standard-7.4.2-an+fx.xpi
2. Click the file; firefox will ask you to install that addon. Confirm.
3. Go to Firefox settings, addons (about:addons), FoxyProxy, check that it shows version 7.4.2.
**Important**: On that same page, set "Allow automatic updates" to off, otherwise 8.2 could be installed at any time.

If you upgrade to 8.3, when it is available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/ then the bug will be gone.

## Downgrade to 7.4.2

This will not retrieve old settings. You will keep the old version but lose all settings.

1. Download https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/releases/download/7.4.2/foxyproxy_standard-7.4.2-an+fx.xpi
2. Click the file; firefox will ask you to install that addon. Confirm.

## Wait For Mozilla to Approve 8.3

It should be available in a few days, but we have no guarantee.
