Twitter Misc

Miscellaneous functions related to Twitter (This add-on was formerly called Twitter Old UI)

Features & Capabilities

Twitter Misc is a suite of miscellaneous Twitter tools, originally named Twitter Old UI. It relies on Twitter's HTML and may break if the layout changes. Features include opening Twitter in a sidebar, context menu actions to open links there, searching within Twitter, quoting tweets by text and page URL, injecting a custom style sheet to modify the page, expanding and displaying long URLs, and translating tweets. It also supports loading new tweets regularly.

Note: This extension fakes the user agent to IE11 to retrieve the older layout. Because Twitter updates its UI, not all elements may be restored and some features may not work as expected. Reload the page after changes and re-login if necessary to switch between layouts.

Is Twitter Misc 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.

Twitter Misc 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.

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.
