User Reviews

Thank you. If this extension doesn't work for you, don't rant complaints here - the author has died. Yes, the extension HAS been updated since then, but those are automatic updates by Mozilla (like "1.2resigned1"), which don't change functionality.

Is Focus Follows Mouse 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.

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

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.
