I've just been back through all my Firefox options. When I got down to extensions, I saw a recommendation to install FoxyProxy Standard. I run the Mozilla VPN. Would adding the proxy server extension do anything to improve security? Why would one run a proxy server AND a VPN? Is it likely to affect performance, ie, improve or slow it?

Re: FoxyProxy Standard
Using a proxy server as well as a VPN is unlikely to have much benefit, unless you want to be able to easily and quickly change the country that your web browser requests are coming from.

Re: FoxyProxy Standard
Thanks, Stuart!
That's what I thought. Glad to have it confirmed by an expert.
