Web Element Selector Generator Firefox

Web Element Selector Generator

Generate CSS/XPath selectors for elements or a whole page, with ready-to-paste Selenium, Playwright, and Cypress code snippets.

Features & Capabilities

Web Element Selector Generator instantly turns any element — or an entire page — into ready-to-use CSS selectors, XPath, and test automation code for Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, and WebdriverIO.

Stop hand-crafting locators in DevTools. Click one element, or scan a whole page at once, and get every selector strategy you need plus copy-paste-ready code in the language and framework you already use — Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or C#.

PICK AN ELEMENT • Click an element (with Inspect mode on) or Alt+Click anywhere without blocking navigation • Right-click any element and choose "Generate selectors for this element" • Jump straight into Inspect mode with the Alt+Shift+E shortcut

SCAN AN ENTIRE PAGE AT ONCE — NEW • Open the side panel and scan every link, button, input, form, and test-id-tagged element on the page in a single pass • Reaches cross-origin iframes, not just your own frame — something most selector tools can't do • Filter by element category, search by text/tag/selector, and hover any result to highlight it live on the page • Multi-select elements and export them together as a ready-to-paste Page Object class

GET 8 LOCATOR STRATEGIES PER ELEMENT • CSS — relative (shortest unique path) and absolute • XPath — relative and absolute • CSS attribute-contains and XPath text-contains, for elements with dynamic classes/IDs • ARIA role/name selector, for accessibility-first testing • A "recommended" badge automatically highlights the most robust option

GENERATE READY-TO-PASTE TEST CODE — NEW • Selenium WebDriver: Java, Python, C#, JavaScript • Playwright: JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, C# • Cypress and WebdriverIO • Copy a single locator line, or export a full Page Object class skeleton from a batch of scanned elements

BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD PAGES • Works inside open shadow roots and same-origin iframes, with clear notes when a selector's scope is limited • "Validate All" checks every generated selector live against the page and reports match counts • Keeps a history of your last 25 picks per tab so you can revisit earlier selections • Configurable attribute priority — prefer data-testid, data-qa, or your own custom attributes • Export your selection history, or a full page scan, as JSON or CSV

PRIVACY FIRST Everything runs locally in your browser. No element data, page content, or selectors are ever sent anywhere — history, scan results, and settings are stored only in your own Chrome profile.

Built for QA engineers, SDETs, and automation testers writing Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or WebdriverIO tests, developers debugging dynamic UIs, and anyone scraping data or auditing pages for accessibility.

Is Web Element Selector Generator 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.

Web Element Selector Generator requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ****** ********* ** * ****** ******** ******** ********** * ******* ******* *****
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

Web Element Selector Generator is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
