Emacs-keybinding Firefox

Emacs-keybinding

An addon for using Firefox with Emacs keybindings

Features & Capabilities

Emacs-keybinding is a Firefox addon designed for users who want to utilize Emacs keybindings while browsing. Compatible with Firefox 57 and newer, this extension brings Emacs-style keyboard shortcuts to most web pages, enhancing navigation and editing efficiency. Note that it doesn't work on Firefox internal pages (like 'about:xxxx' or new tab pages) and cannot override Firefox's own UI keybindings due to extension limitations.

Users might encounter some conflicts with Firefox's native shortcuts; however, a troubleshooting guide is provided to help disable conflicting bindings for a smoother experience. The extension requires pages to be fully loaded for keybindings to activate. Developers and users can access detailed documentation and report issues via its GitHub repository. Overall, Emacs-keybinding offers a practical solution for Emacs enthusiasts wanting a consistent workflow within Firefox.

Is Emacs-keybinding 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.

Emacs-keybinding requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

Emacs-keybinding may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
