User Reviews

Users broadly praise Bitdefender TrafficLight for Firefox for reliable protection and unobtrusive alerts, plus ongoing developer support. However, issues include occasional crashes after updates, slower page loads, concerns about phishing detection, and a desire for privacy features like domain exclusions.

Pros

Works reliably on Firefox (including Linux).
Unobtrusive notifications; only tells you when a page is not safe.
Active development with ongoing support and updates.
Effective at flagging unsafe pages and protecting browsing.

Cons

Crashes/hangs Google search results and can crash the browser after updates.
Slows down page loading / overall performance impact.
Can give a false sense of protection and may not reliably detect phishing.
Lacks privacy controls like domain exclusions.

Recent reviews

One of few commercial extensions that actually work on Firefox in Linux environment. One star less than five because I would like to exclude certain selected domains from protection due to privacy/confidentiality concerns. Good extension anyways

Is Bitdefender TrafficLight for Firefox 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.

Bitdefender TrafficLight for Firefox requires a lot of 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.

Bitdefender TrafficLight for Firefox is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
