WORKS WITH YOUR FRAMEWORK — AUTOMATICALLY ComponentLocator detects how your app was ategy, with zero configuration:

WHY THIS EXTENSION Tools built on React's old _debugSource fit 19 and Next.js App Router. This extension reads React 19's new owner stacks (_debugStack) and resolves original source positions through the dev serveown source-map endpoints (Next.js) or the Vite) — and uses each framework's nativedev metadata for Vue, Svelte and Astro.

HOW IT OPENS YOUR EDITOR By default it auto-detects the dev server't.js, Vue CLI, Nuxt, Create React App) —the same mechanism as the framework's error overlay — so it respects your REACT_EDITOR / EDITOR environment variable. Or configure a custom URL schemef, or JetBrains IDEs.

Is ComponentLocator 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.

ComponentLocator requires very minimum permissions.

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.

ComponentLocator is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
