Many people like to save papers for later by opening them in new tabs via ctrl-click, middle click or the context menu. For Google Scholar profiles however, this is only possible after first opening the paper entry. Depending on the browser, trying to open a new tab directly from a profile entry will either do nothing or - more annoyingly - open an empty tab. This browser extension converts the entries in Google Scholar profiles into proper links that can be opened in new tabs.

Extension safety

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.

Google Scholar Tab Fixer requires a few sensitive permissions. 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
