    Given that I did not mention any fishnets, no, I didn't know you would answer it O:-)
    
    Anyway, your code seems really useful for several things... but it was not what I was looking for (unless I implement that somewhere within Firefox...)
    
    What I had in mind was a button (maybe in the toolbar or something) that, on a click, would alternate between two different proxies I happen to use ("Edit -> Preferences -> Connection Settings -> Copy&Paste what I need" just seems to tedious...)

  There's nothing like thinking out loud in your journal :-)

  Thanks to Danius, I have now installed SwitchProxy [nettripper.com].

  Hurrah! :-D
