User Reviews

After I figured out, which files to install in "~/.mozilla/native-messaging-host/" the add-on works like expected. The "One Time Setup (Linux)" section in the "about this extension" text is wrong in the names and download links. It has to be "rods.json" and "rods.py" / "rods.sh" / "rods.js" which are all found in "https://github.com/igorlogius/rodc"

Is Run On Download Complete 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.

Run On Download Complete requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Facilitates communication between extensions and native applications, usually low risk if managed correctly.

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.

Run On Download Complete may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
