Features & Capabilities

Shellfox is an extension that allows you to run shell commands at the click of a button. You can register commands that can be executed on any page or link URL through context-menus or an address-bar button. Specific URLs can have default commands configured for them using regex, for convenience.  

Like to play videos locally? You can use mpv to play your flicks.  Like to mirror websites? You can have wget handle your data-hoarding.  Like to download your YouTube videos? You can run yt-dlp for safe-keeping.   

!IMPORTANT! Unlike most extensions, Shellfox requires a native program be installed in order to work. To install it, please see: https://kod.ujo.moe/jadedctrl/shellfox   Shellfox should work on most *nix systems (BSD, macOS), but is only tested on GNU/Linux.

Is Shellfox 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.

Shellfox requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.

Shellfox is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
