Features & Capabilities

Open Browser Control lets AI agents running on your own machine see and control your Firefox tabs. It's built for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem — pair it with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Kiro, or any other MCP-compatible client, and your agent gains browser tools: navigate, click, type, take screenshots, read the DOM, switch tabs, hover, execute JavaScript, and more.

Local-only by design. The extension connects to a small bridge server running on your own machine (localhost). It never talks to a remote server and no data leaves your device through the extension.

Session isolation. Each connected agent gets its own named tab group so parallel agent sessions don't step on each other. The sidebar shows an activity log and control-mode switches (AI / User / Collaborative) so you can take over mid-task and hand control back to the agent seamlessly.

Setup:

Install this extension.
In your MCP client, add the command: npx open-browser-control
Open the Open Browser Control sidebar in Firefox — your agent's browser tools are live.

Is Open Browser Control 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.

Open Browser Control 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.

Open Browser Control is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
