Totally rubbish, malicious extension. Brakes GMail attachment download. IMPOSSIBLE to know that this crappy extension brakes that - because no informative icon. I wasted 1 hour of my time debugging extensions and disabling 100 of good security extensions, which actually worked fine. I advise to stay away of this extension, it can't be used and brakes websites.

Side note: the extension promotes DuckDuckGo, I prefer Startpage:

Is Origin Enforcer 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.
Origin Enforcer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.
Origin Enforcer has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
