Update: April 19, 2017 -- I simply don't have time to keep this up to date. But Ted Pavlic has a really nice (and elegant) solution using a bookmarklet: http://phaseportrait.blogspot.com/2012/07/bookmarklets-for-asu-library-proxy.html -Erick
This extension adds a button to your toolbar that, when clicked, reloads the current page through the ASU library's proxy. The extension is available for both Firefox and Chrome.
- Download the .xpi file from the most recent release for Firefox.
- Follow these installation instructions for installing an extension from a file.
- Add the EZProxy button to your toolbar by going to View > Toolsbars > Customize, and dragging the icon into your toolbar.
Note: in newer versions of Firefox, your browser will remember which sites you prefer to access via proxy. Thus it may only be necessary to click the button once for each domain.
- Download the .zip file from the most recent release for Chrome.
- Uncompress/extract the contents of the .zip file. You should see two files: ezproxy-extension.crx and ezproxy-extension.pem
- Go to chrome://settings/ and click on "Extensions" (at left). You should see a list of extensions that are installed in Chrome.
- Drag and drop the ezproxy-extension.crx file onto the list of extensions.
- Follow the prompts to install the extension. You should now see the icon in your toolbar.
