You can make a keyboard shortcut to switch proxy settings (and as an
added bonus, it'll be GNOME-wide, not just browser-specific).

Just make a shell script which runs:

gconftool --set /system/http_proxy/host my.host.name --type=string
gconftool --set /system/http_proxy/port 8080 --type=int
(...maybe other stuff, run gconf-editor for the full list...)

Then bind a key to it by setting it as a command
in /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_x (where x is some number)
and putting a key combination
in /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/run_command_x.

Do this once per proxy.
