Configurable Header Manager

Add, modify, or remove HTTP request and response headers per URL pattern.Add, modify, or remove HTTP request and response headers per URL pattern.

Features & Capabilities

Configurable Header Manager lets you intercept and modify HTTP headers on any website — without installing anything beyond the extension itself. HOW IT WORKS Create rules that match a URL pattern (with wildcard support) and define what happens to a header: set a value, remove it entirely, or append to it. Rules apply to request headers (sent to the server) or response headers (received from the server). Toggle individual rules on and off without deleting them. FEATURES • Add, edit and delete header rules per URL pattern • Match any domain or path with wildcard patterns (e.g. ://.example.com/*) • Set, remove or append header values • Works on both request and response headers • Enable or disable rules individually — no need to delete and recreate • Import and export your full rule set as plain JSON — easy backup or team sharing • Load a rule configuration directly from a URL • Instant apply — no page reload of the extension required SIMPLE BY DESIGN The UI is intentionally minimal: a list of your rules, a small form to add or edit one, and an import/export panel. Nothing hidden, nothing complex. SECURE & PRIVACY-FIRST • Zero external dependencies — no npm packages, no remote scripts, no CDN calls • All rules are stored locally in your browser (browser.storage.local) • No analytics, no telemetry, no network requests made by the extension itself • Fully open source — you can read every line of code before installing • Uses the Declarative Net Request API, so the extension never sees the actual request content — the browser engine applies rules directly • data_collection_permissions: none — declared explicitly in the manifest WHO IS THIS FOR Developers testing APIs with custom auth headers, CORS overrides or feature flags; QA engineers spoofing user agents or cache headers; security researchers inspecting header behaviour — anyone who needs precise, per-URL header control without a full proxy setup.

Is Configurable Header 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.

Configurable Header Manager 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.

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