Features & Capabilities

Local File Explorer is a fast and simple file browser extension for Firefox that brings a native file explorer experience to your browser. It lets you seamlessly browse, search, and preview your local files and folders without switching to another app.

Key features include folder viewing with customizable grid or list layouts, five-level zoom options, and previews for images, videos, and music files directly inside the browser. You can also search files within folders quickly. It requires permission to access local file URLs to modify default browser previews and access file listings securely.

Easily manage, view, and interact with your files—all within your browser—using Local File Explorer's efficient and user-friendly interface. The extension's source code is open and available on GitHub for transparency and contributions.

The best file explorer for local files! I have checked all possible apps for Firefox and Chromium both - and this one is only one which really works as it should be! Particularly, a right preview pane is very helpful.

Is Local File Explorer 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.

Local File Explorer requires very minimum permissions.
