WireRules Firefox

WireRules

Deep packet inspection firewall for your browser — monitor, block, redirect, or modify any request. Your browser, your rules.

Features & Capabilities

Take full control of your browser's network traffic. WireRules lets you inspect, block, redirect, and modify HTTP requests in real time with powerful, user-defined rules.

Live Traffic Monitor See every network request your browser makes as it happens. Inspect URLs, request and response headers, body content, status codes, and errors — all from a clean, searchable interface.

Flexible Rule Engine Create rules to control how your browser handles network requests:

  • Block unwanted requests by URL, domain, or resource type
  • Redirect requests to different URLs
  • Modify request and response headers (append, set, or remove)
  • Apply URL transforms (change scheme, host, port, path, or query parameters)
  • Upgrade HTTP connections to HTTPS
  • Filter by request method, domain, and resource type

Default-Deny Mode Enable default-deny to block all requests except those explicitly allowed by your rules — ideal for locked-down browsing environments.

Rule Templates Get started quickly with built-in rule templates for common use cases. Customize them to fit your needs.

Persistent Configuration Your rules and settings are saved locally and survive browser restarts. Toggle individual rules on and off without deleting them.

Use Cases

  • Debug web applications by inspecting and modifying network traffic
  • Block trackers, ads, or unwanted third-party requests
  • Test redirects and header modifications during development
  • Enforce HTTPS across all sites
  • Lock down browsing with default-deny and explicit allow rules

Is WireRules 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.

WireRules requires a few sensitive permissions. 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 ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
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.

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