Fix Brain.FM Firefox

Fix Brain.FM

Fixes malformed headers sent by brain.fm templates endpoint. This fixes the never-ending loading screen issue, caused by the server sending an invalid Content-Type header. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1323730 for further details.

Features & Capabilities

This is an add-on for use with https://brain.fm which is currently incompatible with newer versions of Firefox at the time of writing (2016-12-28). The reason for this incompatability is that there is an application/x-gzip content type sent by the server for the templates endpoint.

This add-on intercepts the response to set the content type to text/html, which makes the application work.

Is Fix Brain.FM 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.

Fix Brain.FM requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Allows the extension to observe and analyze traffic in flight for the selected hosts.
  • Low ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** ********
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.

Fix Brain.FM has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
