AMO OpenSearch Engine Firefox

AMO OpenSearch Engine

OpenSearch engine for addons.mozilla.org with a theme responsive icon.

Features & Capabilities

Firefox can generate an AMO search engine automatically by clicking a button at the bottom of the urlbar results while on addons.mozilla.org. This addon works exactly the same way but has a better icon with context properties so it can be made to look good with both light and dark themes, rather than always being bright cyan.

Is AMO OpenSearch Engine 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.

AMO OpenSearch Engine requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Can change search providers, which could redirect searches to malicious sites, posing moderate 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.

AMO OpenSearch Engine has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
