Header Override Firefox

Header Override

Modify request headers, response headers, and cookies with local URL rules and profiles.

Features & Capabilities

Header Override is a developer tool for managing URL-scoped rules that modify request headers, response headers, request Cookie values, and response Set-Cookie values.

Create rules from the extension popup, choose whether each rule affects outgoing requests or incoming responses, and scope each rule with browser's declarative URL filter syntax. Header Override can add request headers, add response headers, append request Cookie values, and add response Set-Cookie values with common cookie attributes such as Domain, Path, SameSite, lifetime, and Secure.

Use profiles to keep separate rule sets for development, QA, demos, clients, or debugging sessions. Profiles can be activated from the popup, and selected profiles can be exported or imported as JSON when you need to move configurations between browsers or machines.

Rules are saved locally in browser and applied automatically with browser's declarativeNetRequest API. Header Override does not use analytics, tracking, remote code, or external servers.

Features:

  • Add custom request headers.
  • Add custom response headers.
  • Append request Cookie values.
  • Add response Set-Cookie values.
  • Configure response cookie attributes, including Domain, Path, SameSite, lifetime, Max-Age, and Secure.
  • Scope rules to specific URLs or URL patterns.
  • Group rules into local profiles.
  • Activate a profile for the current debugging workflow.
  • Import and export selected profile configurations.
  • Add optional comments to label or document each rule.
  • Enable, disable, add, and delete rules from the popup.
  • See the active applied rule count in the extension badge.
  • Local-only storage with no analytics, tracking, remote code, or external servers.

Is Header Override 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 Override requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
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 Override is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
