Right dude (kid
) have you tried disabling/removing SwitchProxy and using the normal proxy settings?
Also, I have the Prefbar extension, which lets you turn proxies on and off quickly.
SwitchProxy once hung FF totally to the extent it wouldn't load on mine, so I had to remove. A lot of the actual data is held remotely I think.
And 12... that takes some doing. You must be the youngest on here and by some margin too.
