PAC file proxy isn't available in Set Tab Proxy #115

Closed belperite closed 5 months ago

Hello again and thank you for this very useful addon.

I want to set a tab proxy which uses a PAC file, however this isn't available in the dropdown list (the "BDE" one in this case). Is this a bug, or a limitation perhaps?

Firefox, macos.

Thanks, Richard

PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration file) is set via Firefox's Network Settings. Once PAC is set, all proxying controls are passed to the Firefox & the PAC.

That is the reason PACs are filtered out in the popup, since it is not possible to set them for a tab.

Fair enough! Thanks for responding.
