User Reviews

Users broadly praise QR Lite for reliably scanning QR codes from web pages, easy extraction without screenshots, and strong camera scanning. The app is noted as ad-free, lightweight, and simple, with good support for links/images and edit-before-save. Common downsides are limited functionality in certain views (PDF/SVG/about pages), a small region-selection quirk, and occasional private-window inconsistencies. Overall, it’s fast, convenient, and well-liked for generating and managing QR content.

Pros

Scans QR codes directly from web pages without needing screenshots; works reliably in-page.
Camera-based QR scanning is a standout feature praised by users.
No ads, lightweight, and easy to use with a simple interface.
Handles links and images (including images with hyperlinks) and allows editing before saving.
Clean, elegant UI that feels powerful and efficient.

Cons

Doesn’t work in PDF/SVG viewer mode or internal about pages due to API limitations.
Region selection can require using the context menu twice, which users find a bit awkward.
In private browsing, link and picture scans can revert to the default tab mode, causing inconsistency.

Is QR Lite - QR Code Generator and Scanner 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.

QR Lite - QR Code Generator and Scanner requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

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.

QR Lite - QR Code Generator and Scanner is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
