automatic my ass you have to fill out everything yourself anyway don't download this
by bo*****, 2026-06-11
Very basic and DIY.
If I for example try the URL of this page in APA-style (version 6 and 7). It should generate something like:
"PlagiarismCheckerX (2022, July 7). Hero Citation Generator – Deze extensie downloaden voor 🦊 Firefox (nl). Retrieved 19 February. 2025, from Addons: [this page's URL]."
But is does not...
Instead you have to fill in allmost all the fields yourself.
I mean: Author, Published date and the URL itself - you allways have to fill the URL otherwise it won't generate a citation ;o)
If you don't fill those items manually you will get something like:
"Hero Citation Generator – Deze extensie downloaden voor 🦊 Firefox (nl). (n.d.). Addons. Retrieved 19 February. 2025, from [this page's URL]."
Same goes for generating a citation for a image, then you also have to enter the URL for the image's location again(?)
Take the add-ons' logo here for example and give it a try.
So what is the difference from doing all this in a add-on or by copying & pasting it (using Ctrl+I for Firefox's page information) yourself?
PS. I can't even get a proper APA citation, even if I fill in all the fields at the moment!
For example: I can't make the citation of my first example: the author (PlagiarismCheckerX) is not even shown in the citation(!) and the name of the site (Addons) is in the wrong place according to APA 6 and 7.
Even if this add-on uses an old APA version, the author should at least be somewhere, right?

Is Hero Citation Generator 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.
Hero Citation Generator requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
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.
Hero Citation Generator has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
