User Reviews

FoE - Helper is highly valued for enhancing the game and is described as essential by long-time users. It is feature-rich and offers convenient tools. However, reliability is a major concern: updates often break functionality, some users see it not load or not start the game, and core features like city/production views or the blue galaxy helper disappear. Compatibility with older systems and ongoing post-update fixes are recurring themes. Users urge keeping it up-to-date and for developers to address stability.

Pros

Very useful and essential to many FoE players.
Feature-rich with many tools that enhance gameplay.
Provides convenient access and launcher (FOE Tools dropdown) to start the game from the extension.
Long-standing, trusted add-on used for years; users rely on it.
Improves overall game experience.

Cons

Updates can break functionality and stop the extension from working (e.g., post-update issues like 4.0.1.0).
Not loading or starting the game from the browser; the extension becomes non-responsive across multiple browsers.
Key features may be missing or broken after updates (city overview/map, production overview, blue galaxy helper).
Compatibility issues with older systems (Windows 7, Firefox ESR) and ongoing instability after FoE changes requiring frequent updates.
Some users report that many features do not work reliably, indicating overall reliability problems.

Recent reviews

It usually works good, but last time FOE updated the game, it broke... and mainline is usually fairly quick to upload a fix. Unfortunately, latest fix was more than a week ago, and still hasn't been approved. Latest IS actually 4.2.1.1 So, I'm still waiting for them to approve it.

Yeah hi FOE devs. I am just writing this review to tell you that I am having a problem with FOE helpers - Firefox edtion - GB calculator and cost calculator. Yeah... the GB calculator only works for my own builds whereas it used to work for any GB I clicked on. The GB cost calculator can't even be used as it doesn't work at all. So any info would be greatly appreciated regarding the add on bringing these vital tools back online. Thanks

Is FoE - Helper 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.

FoE - Helper 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.

FoE - Helper is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
