User Reviews
Not perfect, but does the job. The only extension of it's kind I know which allows me to quickly check (even from time to time) whether my connection is not intercepted by e.g. corporate tools. Deserves 5 stars. Thanks.

** Major trust issue alert ** The add-on reports that it now has a compromised back end service API. You may now see an error "This public key does not match the one required by the server" within the add-on about:addons config screen. I have tried this on multiple computers, same catastrophic security error. The public key no longer matches the expected API key. This add-on normally sends all your website URLs to a back end server that the developer hosts free of charge (how "generous"... hmmm). Notwithstanding this suspicious setup which is funded "some how", this error would indicate their server has been compromised. Someone else is now hoovering up all your URLs, maybe the CIA, FBI, MI5, Mossad... who knows.
Also, https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=checkmyhttps.net suggests the server's certificate chain is incomplete. which is odd.
The Public key you should see in the add-on..

Is CheckMyHTTPS 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.
CheckMyHTTPS requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

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