FoxyProxy!
No, that only works against blocking traffic. SOPA would remove the DNS entry from the .COM domain. It's an attack at the DNS level so using a proxy won't work. You'd need something like the MAFIAFire plugin to keep a "shadow" DNS going.
That's the extension they must have been discussing, because it's the extension Mozilla was pressured to remove from its listings.
