Features & Capabilities

EmbedFallbackWatch audits legacy and plugin-style embedded content on the active page. It focuses on <object> and <embed> elements, which are less common than images, iframes, and video tags but can still appear in dashboards, document viewers, PDF previews, map widgets, and older enterprise pages. The extension checks whether embedded resources have a clear source, MIME type, dimensions, accessible label, and fallback content. This is useful because object/embed markup can silently degrade when the browser blocks a plugin, when a resource fails to load, or when a screen reader needs a text alternative.

Is EmbedFallbackWatch 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.

EmbedFallbackWatch requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

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.

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