Details
Bug 1425535 covers an API (and the Jazz UI) for showing if an add-on has configured the proxy settings using the (as yet) unwritten proxy.setConfig API. If an extension has loaded any PAC scripts using the proxy API, that currently isn't shown in about:preferences and we should do our best to surface this to the user. An example add-on that does this is: https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/master/proxy-blocker Using the browser.proxy.register API and proxy permission. The proxy.register API allows multiple add-ons to control the proxy behaviour, unlike other Jazz changes we've made (eg new tab), multiple add-ons can do this.

I believe the dependency for bug 1425535 was backwards. That bug is about implementing an API, so this should depend on that.

I mis-read this earlier, its not really at all related to bug 1425535 at all. This would be new UI entirely.
