Enhanced Network Tab Firefox

Enhanced Network Tab

An open source lightweight security analysis tool for capturing and modifying HTTP/S requests with a nice UI.

Features & Capabilities

Take full control of your browser's network traffic. Enhanced Network Tab is an advanced debugging, security analysis, and request modification tool designed to intercept and modify HTTP requests and responses directly within Firefox.

While many extensions offer simple static redirects, Enhanced Network Tab provides true dynamic control with built-in security scanning capabilities, making it the spiritual successor to Tamper Data.

What you can do:

  • Capture & Analyze – Monitor all HTTP/HTTPS traffic in real-time with sortable, searchable request tables
  • Intercept & Modify – Edit any aspect of a request: URL, HTTP method, headers, and body before it's sent
  • Match & Replace – Create rules to automatically modify requests matching specific patterns
  • Request Repeater – Resend requests with modifications for API testing (similar to Burp Suite)
  • Security Scanner – Automatically detect exposed API keys, credentials, JWT tokens, private keys, and 100+ sensitive data patterns
  • Vulnerable Library Detection – Scan JavaScript files for outdated libraries with known CVEs
  • Built-in Decoder – Encode/decode URL, Base64, Hex, HTML entities, and decode JWT tokens
  • Export as cURL – Copy any request as a ready-to-use cURL command
Security Scanner detects:
  • API Keys: AWS, Google, GitHub, OpenAI, Stripe, Slack, and 50+ services
  • Database URLs: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis connection strings with credentials
  • Private Keys: RSA, SSH, PGP keys exposed in responses
  • Hardcoded credentials, JWT tokens, and sensitive endpoints
Technical Details: Leveraging Firefox's webRequest API (onBeforeRequest, onBeforeSendHeaders, onHeadersReceived), this extension intercepts the network flow, allowing you to inspect and edit data before it leaves or enters the browser. Background scanning works even when DevTools is closed.
  • 100% Privacy-Focused:
  • No data sent to external servers
  • No analytics or telemetry
  • All processing happens locally
  • Vulnerability database bundled offline
If you're accustomed to tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Fiddler, or Charles Proxy, but need a faster, integrated browser solution—this is your tool. Perfect for developers, security researchers, and penetration testers.

Great Concept. I'm excited to play around with it!

This extension is a really good alternative to Burp Suite; it’s very well designed. It also offers a fast approach and makes it easier for security testers to get a quick initial view about applications.

Is Enhanced Network Tab 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.

Enhanced Network Tab 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.

Enhanced Network Tab is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
