Network Interceptor Firefox

Network Interceptor

Intercept, mock, redirect, block, delay, and modify network requests — no proxy or backend changes needed.

Features & Capabilities

Network Interceptor gives developers full control over network requests directly in the browser. Set up rules to mock, redirect, block, delay, or modify requests — without touching your backend or configuring a proxy.

── RULE TYPES ──────────────────────────────────────────

Mock Return a custom response body and status code for any
fetch or XHR request.

Redirect Transparently forward a request to a different URL, preserving the original method and headers.

Block Cancel matching requests outright.

Delay Slow down requests by a configurable number of milliseconds to simulate latency.

Modify Headers Add, set, or remove request and response headers on matching requests.

Modify Query Params Add, replace, or remove URL query parameters without editing your source code.

Redirect JS Serve a local or alternate script in place of a remote JavaScript file.

── MATCHING OPTIONS ────────────────────────────────────

Match URLs by exact string, contains, wildcard (*), or full regex. Filter by HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) or match any.

── HOW IT WORKS ────────────────────────────────────────

Rules are applied in real time — no page reload required after toggling. A subtle on-page toast shows which rules fired and against which URL, so you always know what was intercepted.

── USE CASES ───────────────────────────────────────────

• Mock API responses during frontend development • Test error states (404, 500) without backend support • Simulate slow network conditions • Override feature flags or A/B test payloads • Strip or inject authentication headers • Redirect production API calls to a local dev server

No external servers. No data leaves your browser.

Is Network Interceptor 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.

Network Interceptor 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.

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

Risk likelihood analysis details
