Features & Capabilities

FoxPilot lets your AI assistant drive Firefox.

It's a local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server paired with this extension, so MCP-compatible clients — like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor — can control your real Firefox: open and organize tabs, search your history, read page content and links, and (when you opt in) automate pages directly.

What it can do

Tabs & windows: open, close, select, reorder, and group tabs; navigate and use back/forward history.
Reading: extract a page's text and links, take an accessibility snapshot of interactive elements, and find/highlight text.
Automation Mode (opt-in): click, hover, type, fill forms, press keys, drag, upload files, take screenshots, run JavaScript, and capture console & network activity.
History: search across your recent browsing.

Privacy first FoxPilot runs entirely on your machine. The extension talks only to a local server you run, authenticated with a secret you control. Page automation is off by default and must be explicitly enabled — and broad site access is an optional permission you grant only if you want it.

Who it's for Developers and power users who want to give an AI assistant hands-on, auditable control of their browser — for testing, research, scraping, and repetitive web tasks — without sending data to a third party.

Setup Install the companion MCP server (foxpilot-mcp) and connect it to your MCP client. Full instructions and source: https://github.com/balakumardev/foxpilot

Is FoxPilot 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.

FoxPilot 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.

FoxPilot is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
