Comment(by bastik):

 Version 0.2.x has not been available for testing, yet. (I disabled the
 add-on (0.1.1) for the moment)

 I ran (0.1.x) and was trying to find out why it would turn red.

 I saw

 {{{
 Error: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at
 ws://[censored]:9000/.
 }}}
 for the badge and the add-on.

 Once I got

 {{{
 Error: The connection to ws://[censored]:9000/ was interrupted while the
 page was loading.
 }}}
 for the add-on along with

 {{{
 Error: tor-flashproxy-badge: An exception occurred.
 ReferenceError: clearTimeout is not defined
 }}}
 After I resolved the issue on my side (the add-on couldn't make
 connections from !about:blank, because of a filtering add-on) the badge
 stayed green AND turned to its working color, without any errors showing
 up in the error console. Therefore I concluded it's working. Also it never
 gave the "clearTimeout" error again (or any other error beside failing
 connections).

 (There are so many proxies polling for clients; my badge didn't serve any
 client, while being available for 6+ hours, this makes it hard to see if
 something is actually working)

 (I appreciate the work by Christan Sturm, who might not have created this,
 if Cupcake would work for Firefox as it was planned according to its
 readme.)

 (everything prior 0.1.x, actually worked since it was "just" Flashproxy
 itself, like it appears to be now the case again.)
