Header Tool

By: loreii
A simple HTTP header modifier extension with JS expressions, regex URL matching, and clipboard export.

Features & Capabilities

Easily modify HTTP headers on every request with a simple text editor, JS expressions, and regex URL matching.

Full Description:

Header Tool lets you modify HTTP request headers using a simple text editor interface. Write headers directly, use JavaScript expressions for dynamic values, and target specific URLs with regular expressions.

Features:

• Simple text-based editor — no complex UI, just type your headers • JavaScript expressions in ${...} blocks: base64 encoding, crypto hashes, dynamic dates, and more • Regular expression URL matching with @ syntax — apply different headers to different sites • Continuous JS mode — re-evaluates expressions on every HTTP request • Copy headers to clipboard in wget or curl format • Import/Export header configurations from/to text files • Persistent — your headers and settings survive browser restarts • Sidebar panel (F4) and toolbar popup for quick access • Does not interfere with Firefox Sync or internal browser services

Usage example:

Basic header

X-Custom-Header: my-value

Base64 authentication

Authorization: Basic ${b64("username:password")}

Dynamic values

X-Timestamp: ${new Date().toISOString()}

Apply only to specific URLs

@api.example.com X-API-Key: secret123

Crypto

X-Hash: ${sha256("message")} Supported JS functions: b64(), md5(), sha1(), sha256(), crypto(), hostname(), pathname(), search(), href()

Is Header Tool 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.

Header Tool 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.

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