User reviews

Users appreciate the availability of multiple language packs and the utility for multilingual users in Firefox. However, many report frustration as the English (GB) pack fails to apply correctly, defaulting to US English instead. Despite its usefulness, the add-on often does not perform as intended, leading to dissatisfaction.

Pros

Provides multiple language packs including English (GB) and other languages.
Useful tool for multilingual users and those learning new languages.
Generally reliable and appreciated by users for language options.

Cons

Does not effectively change Firefox language to English (GB), defaults back to US English.
Frustrating and annoying as the language pack does not work as expected for many users.

Extension safety

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.

Language: English (GB) does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Language: English (GB) has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
