Name: CiteGrab — Smart Reference Manager

Detects the type of the page you're on (journal article, book chapter, news, website, etc.) and generates an in-text citation and full reference in the style you choose — offline by default, with an optional one-click DOI lookup.

Features & Capabilities

CiteGrab reads the page you're viewing and instantly builds a properly formatted citation — in-text and full reference — in the style you need.

Supported styles: APA (7th ed.), MLA (9th ed.), Harvard, Chicago (Author-Date), IEEE, Vancouver, and OSCOLA.

How it works: CiteGrab reads metadata already present in the page's own HTML (meta tags, JSON-LD, citation_* tags) only while the popup is open, on the tab you're actively viewing. It works entirely offline by default — nothing is sent anywhere. An optional one-click DOI lookup can pull full metadata from Crossref's public API when a DOI is available, but only if you choose to use it.

Save citation projects, switch between light and dark theme, and copy or download your full reference list with one click.

No accounts, no tracking, no background activity — CiteGrab only runs when you open it.

Is CiteGrab — Smart Reference Manager 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.

CiteGrab — Smart Reference Manager requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Allows management of download operations but generally doesn't severely affect security unless misused.

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.

CiteGrab — Smart Reference Manager is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
