PubMed Figure Preview Firefox

PubMed Figure Preview

Show figure thumbnails of open-access (OA/PMC) articles right in PubMed search results — scan papers visually as you search.

Features & Capabilities

When searching the literature, titles and abstracts aren't always enough — a figure is worth a thousand words.

PubMed Figure Preview shows each article's figure thumbnails right under every PubMed search result (for open-access / PMC articles). Click to enlarge the high-resolution figure together with its full figure legend, so you can judge at a glance whether a paper is worth opening.

Features: • Inline figure thumbnails in the results list, scroll horizontally • Click to enlarge: the high-res figure is shown with its full legend; use ← / → to browse all figures of the article; one click opens the original article • Publisher preview (optional): for new articles not yet in PMC, tries to show the graphical abstract / first figure from the publisher's page • Smooth performance: lazy-loading + local cache; figures auto-load after "Show more results", with a manual refresh in the popup • Bilingual (English / 中文) UI; adjustable thumbnails-per-article and more

Privacy: runs entirely locally, collects no personal data, no ads, no tracking; figures and legends come from public NCBI / PubMed pages.

Note: figures and legends are available mainly for open-access (OA / PMC) articles; paywalled or very recent papers not yet in PMC may have none.

Is PubMed Figure Preview 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.

PubMed Figure Preview requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
  • Low ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** *******
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.

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