User reviews

Cast Kodi is well-liked for providing a straightforward way to cast videos from Firefox to Kodi, especially for YouTube and torrent links, making it a preferred remote over Chrome options. However, users report connectivity issues including no feedback when connection fails, incompatibility with Kodi setups requiring authentication, lack of Android Firefox support, and occasional playback errors. Suggested improvements include keyboard input support and casting the active tab to enhance the extension's functionality.

Pros

Works well as a Kodi remote controller from Firefox browsers on various platforms.
Enables casting YouTube and other supported sites directly to Kodi, avoiding ads in the YouTube app.
Offers features like sending torrent and magnet links, and creating temporary playlists with playback controls.
Highly praised as a better alternative to Chrome counterparts for Kodi remote control.
Easy access via the browser toolbar across all sites for quick control.

Cons

Fails to connect to Kodi in some cases, showing a yellow warning without detailed error messages.
Does not work when Kodi requires authentication for remote control.
Does not support casting from Firefox on Android, limiting mobile use.
Some users experienced errors and video unavailability issues after sending videos to Kodi.
Lacks features like keyboard text input and streaming the current browser tab/page which would enhance usability.

Pure GARBAGE extension and a waste of my precious time. It doesn't even attempt to connect to KODI here! I get a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. Zero explanation is given what's wrong. I have allow remote control from other systems on and the correct IP address. Nothing. It says it can't put the cast icon on Android Firefox anyway so WTF is the point!?!? I just want to cast YouTube from Firefox where I get no ads instead of the app that hits me with nonstop annoying ads. Mirroring the display to Chromecast actually works here. Screw this nonsense. Edit: I see no way to reply so it's here. Yes, they were on the same WiFi network.

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.

Cast Kodi requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

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