Container & Extension Proxy Firefox

Container & Extension Proxy

Assign a proxy to a container and extensions

Features & Capabilities

Container & Extension Proxy is a fork of the original "Container proxy" extension by Aleksey Bekh-Ivanov (original code: https://github.com/bekh6ex/firefox-container-proxy — original listing: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/container-proxy/). All credit for the original extension goes to its author. This fork does not claim any originality or priority — it simply adds one feature on top of the existing extension.

Like the original, it lets you assign a proxy (SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTP or HTTPS) to each Firefox container, so that traffic in a given container goes through the proxy you choose.

What this fork adds: the ability to route another browser extension's own traffic through one of your already-configured proxies. Some extensions — SponsorBlock, for example — send their network requests from their own background context, which is not tied to any container. With container-only routing, that traffic went out directly and bypassed the proxy. A new "Extensions" settings page lets you map such an extension to a proxy, so its traffic follows the proxy as well.

Why a separate listing: the original project has had no activity for about five years, so the change was not submitted upstream. Published under the same BSD 2-Clause license as the original.

Is Container & Extension Proxy 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.

Container & Extension Proxy requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

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