Features & Capabilities

Enqueue visited WEB pages for storage and indexing by Recoll. Needs Recoll version 1.23.5 or later onLinux, Recoll 1.26.2 on Windows or Mac. Important:

Set the webdownloadsdir variable to the location of your default downloads directory in your recoll.conf Recoll configuration file (only needed if the location differs from the default $HOME/Downloads).
The downloads dialog will appear the first time a page is saved. Click the Save file and Do this automatically for files like this from now on checkboxes so that things happen automatically in the future (the saved data has a specific MIME type, so this will only affect this addon).
Since version 98.0, Firefox automatically opens the download dropdown list when a download completes, so it happens all the time when the Recoll WE extension is active; A workaround a kind user found is to set browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel to false (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/tb56js/firefox_opens_download_dropdown_automatically/)

Also see the extension documentation page (mainly about preferences options). Many thanks to the Save Page WE add-on, from which a lot of code and ideas were 'borrowed'.

Is Recoll WE 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.

Recoll WE 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.

Recoll WE has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
