Features & Capabilities

This extension provides a couple of ways to easily add custom search engines to Firefox:

Adds an icon in the search bar to launch a popup for entering information manually
- Includes a button that attempts to autofill a URL from the page
Adds a context menu item for opening a popup with an autofilled entry from a text input

Permissions requested on installation:

Access your data for all websites: In order to be able to automatically grab search URLs from a page, the extension needs to inject a small amount of JavaScript on the tab. In other words, it needs to run a small amount of code on the tab.

Note that this extension needs to export a very small amount of data to be able to let you create custom search engines. The exported data is as follows:

The name you've provided for a custom search engine
The description you've provided for a custom search engine
The URL of the site you are creating a custom search engine for

This is sent to https://paste.mozilla.org, where it is stored for one hour. See the privacy policy for more information.

Is Custom Search Engines 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.

Custom Search Engines requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

Custom Search Engines has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
