Office Opener is a Chrome extension designed to bridge the gap between modern browsers and local Microsoft Office file accessibility. Due to security restrictions in browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and the new Edge, direct linking to local files over HTTP(S) is typically blocked. This extension enables users to launch local Office documents seamlessly from web links, especially useful in corporate intranet environments.

The extension supports recent versions of Microsoft Office, primarily Microsoft 365 MSO (version 16.0.13530.20490 and later). Older versions such as Microsoft Office 2016 are not compatible due to incomplete URL-scheme support. For feedback and updates, users can visit the project's GitHub page.

Extension safety

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.

Office Opener requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
