Features & Capabilities

By clicking on the extension button on the toolbar you switch between these two states by modifying the browser's proxy settings:

no proxy
socks5 proxy on localhost port 1080 with proxy for DNS enabled

For the plugin to work you need to set 'Run in Private Windows' to 'Allow' in the Option page (right click on the extension button and choose 'Manage Extension'). Also, you need to have a socks proxy active, the extension is only switching the browser proxy settings, not providing the proxy itself

Is fireproxy Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

fireproxy requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

fireproxy is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
