Features & Capabilities

MetaRefreshGuard is a Firefox extension for auditing meta http-equiv="refresh" behavior on live pages. It detects refresh tags, parses delay and redirect targets, and highlights risky timing patterns such as instant redirects and short-delay refreshes. It also surfaces refresh tags embedded in noscript blocks, which can be meaningful for fallback behavior audits.

Is MetaRefreshGuard 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.

MetaRefreshGuard requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

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.

MetaRefreshGuard may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
