Features & Capabilities

FirePHP is a powerful Chrome extension that allows developers to log PHP data directly into a browser's Developer Tools console panel. Utilizing HTTP response headers, it supports both FirePHP (Wildfire based) and Chrome Logger protocols, making debugging server-side PHP applications more efficient and streamlined.

This extension enhances your development workflow by integrating PHP logs within your browser, eliminating the need for traditional file-based logging. For additional server library support, visit firephp.org.

Is FirePHP 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.

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

  • Medium ****** ** ********* ****** ********* *** **** ****** **** **** ** ******* ** ********** **** ***********
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.

FirePHP has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
