(Whiteboard: [proxy] triaged) 

This might fit as a new section in the Network tab of the Developer Tools. We could include a Proxy section which show a log of which proxies have been used to load URLs. The main purpose for such a log would be to help with user assistance when users experience issues.

For more information, see the proxy API design document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W45o5X2bFRPrTaQDFp9IzTJ8njCVfEgyENS7i2owaUI/edit?usp=sharing
FYI this is already done in FoxyProxy.
How is this fixed/resolved? Is it already supported by the implementation in bug #1295807?

This can already be implemented by addons that want it (see e.g. FoxyProxy Web Extension). So I'm not sure we need to build something else for the API.
Given comment 5, closing.
