Foobar Firefox

Foobar

By: encoder
Foobar combines Firefox's search and address bars into one easy-to-use search and navigation bar.

Features & Capabilities

Foobar is a Firefox extension that enhances your browsing experience by merging the separate search and address bars into a single, unified bar. This streamlined interface makes searching and navigation quicker and simpler by consolidating input fields and menus. With Foobar, users enter URLs and search queries in one place, while also accessing a combined menu for search suggestions, bookmarks, and history matches.

Key features include hiding the default search box to save toolbar space, relocating the search engine icon and menu into the address bar for easier search engine management, and the ability to perform multiple searches simultaneously using keywords from different engines (e.g., goog, wiki, yahoo). Users can customize Foobar’s settings via Firefox's Add-ons Manager to tailor the experience to their preferences.

Is Foobar 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.

Foobar does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Low Allows usage of omnibox input, negligible risk as it pertains largely to user input enhancements.
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.

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