Extension safety
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.
Background-tab It does not require any sensitive permissions.

as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
