Features & Capabilities

Automatically sign requests to Amazon Web Services using your access key and secret according to the Signature Version 4 signing process.

This extension can be configured to handle multiple services and hosts. It's especially helpful when you need to access front-ends of services in AWS, e.g. Kibana, S3 and etc.

The extension also allows you to add host patterns in addition to ://.amazonaws.com/* from Settings so that cases such as referring S3 resources from a different domain can be tackled. Note that in such scenarios you must add both the S3 bucket and referer domains to 'Host Patterns', while only the S3 one is required in 'Defined Services'.

Is AWS Signer Browser 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.

AWS Signer Browser requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
