Features & Capabilities

This add-on shows with a colored icon, whether the SSL/TLS certificate currently used by the website for the HTTPS connection is classified as trustworthy by Mozilla or only by the local computer, or if it is only self-signed or a http connection. It helps, for example, to recognize (company) proxies, which are also displayed by Firefox with a green lock by default.

User Reviews

Hello, thank you for this add-on, this (almost) looks like what I was looking for, however I was was not able to find the repository containing the source code to review. Could you please link it? Are you open to feature request? Consider this scenario: "myimportantdomain.tld" is protected by TLS, and the certificate has been issue by some trustworthy. It could happen that a single one (of the many!) CAs that are trusted by Firefox (and need to be trusted just to be able to browse the internet), turns and issues a certificate for "myimportantdomain.tld" to a malicious party. Then, the browser would happily accept the rogue certificate.* It would really be helpful to have a way to specify a list of CAs that have been "manually vetted" and enjoy a higher level of trust. In this way the user can distinguish from "default trust" and "high trust". If a CA turns rogue, and issues a certificate for "myimportantdomain.tld", then this add-on would only show "default trust", alerting the user. It would be even better to enforce the requirement that some (user specified) domains must have "high trust" (and display a warning page if that is not the case). One could take this further and allow the user to specify a list of domains and, for domain in the list, choose which CAs to trust. The original cerdicator add-on (which appears to be dead) has "enhanced and user-friendly certificate pinning" listed among the planned features, which very much sounds like what I described above. * There are *SOME* mitigations in place, such as certificate pinning, but they are also less-than ideal.

Is Certificate Trust 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.

Certificate Trust requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

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