How to reproduce it:
0. enable add-on status bar.

1. define several proxy servers
2. choose any one other than the first in the list (sorted by alphabet)
3. restart firefox
4. now the label in add-on status bar is "Proxy:none".

I also appear to have a problem with this and FF13. I stayed with FF3 for as long as I could because I wanted to use this plug-in and I could see in the official Mozilla Add-ons page that it wasn't compatible with newer versions of the browser. But, eventually the browser installation became to unstable. Found this link when looking for an alternative and downloaded the .xpi file. Uninstalled FF3 and installed v13.0.1 along with this .xpi file. Every time I start FF, I get the following pop-up error.

100: An unknown error occurred
([Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIPrefBranch.setCharPref]"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://mproxy/content/proxy.js :: mproxy_setProxy :: line 558" data: no])

I've just tried it on a XP Professional (32bit) virtual machine and also on a 2003 Server RS machine (again, 32-bit). In the case of the XP machine everything seems to be fine. On the 2003 Server, while the add-on isn't causing the error I am seeing on my Win7 machine it seems to exhibit a different problem. Create a proxy entry and upon returning back to the main browser page, it is not visible in the list box (it just says "None"). When I got back to the Manage Proxies screen it is definitely there. Restart the browser, however, and the entry the disappears completely.

With the add-on installed Firefox (up to 16.0.2) will not open a webpage when clicking an url inside another program without having Firefox running already, instead it will just start firefox without opening the clicked url.
