Features & Capabilities

XPath Highlighter is a tiny, fast tool for testing XPath directly on any webpage.

Features • Instant highlighting while you type. • Results list with readable labels (TAG#id.class — "text"). • Click a result to scroll to the element and briefly “flash” it. • Works with element, attribute, and text-node matches. • Remembers your last XPath between popup openings (local only). • One-click Clear button to remove highlights. • RU/EN interface (auto based on browser language).

How to use 1. Click the toolbar button. 2. Type or paste an XPath (e.g., //a[contains(@href,'login')]). 3. Review matches in the list; click any item to jump to it.

Permissions explained • activeTab — run only on the tab you click the extension on. • scripting — inject minimal CSS/JS to draw highlights and list matches. • storage — save your last XPath and UI language state on your device.

Privacy • No data collection. No network requests. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Limitations • Not available on Firefox internal pages (e.g., about:*) or AMO pages due to browser restrictions. • Cross-origin iframes and Shadow DOM may limit what XPath can access.

Compatibility • Firefox 109+ (Manifest V3).

If you need a manual language switch or keyboard shortcuts, let us know—planned as future enhancements.

Is XPath Highlighter 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.

XPath Highlighter 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.

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.

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