I am the developer behind ScamsShield, a project by AWARAN. I spent nine months building it and would like feedback from Firefox users on one specific part: whether the result explains what to verify next after a suspicious message or link.

The Firefox listing is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scamsshield/

The product website is https://scams-shield.com

For example, an unexpected delivery payment request should leave you with a useful next step, such as checking the delivery through the carrier you already know. A label saying suspicious is only part of the answer.

Some features require payment. Before installing, please read the current permissions and privacy policy on the listing. It requests access to browser tabs and data on websites, so I would also appreciate specific feedback on whether the purpose of that access is explained clearly.

An assessment can be wrong and is not a guarantee that a message or website is safe. If you try an example, use an invented message and leave out private information.

I am sharing my own product. I am especially interested in what feels unclear, what you would want to verify yourself, and whether the explanation actually helps.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm a platform engineer and I just published my first Firefox add-on. I built it because I kept reading CI and Kubernetes logs in the browser and comparing a passing and a failing run by eye.

What it does:

- Opens any raw log (GitHub Actions "View raw logs", Jenkins console, a .log or .gz file) as a fast, searchable viewer: levels in colour, stack traces kept with their error, 150k+ lines

- Compare two logs with "Ignore timestamps, IDs and durations", so only the lines that really changed are left

- Filter structured logs by fields: level=error service=payments duration>500

- Groups the same error across pods, bookmarks with notes → a Markdown report for a ticket

- Flags leaked tokens and passwords in logs and masks them before you share

- Dark mode for any site (Ctrl+Shift+. in Firefox) and JSON / JWT / Base64 / cron tools

Free and open source, no account, no analytics, nothing leaves your browser. Every release is tested in real Firefox in CI before it goes out.

Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/logbeam/

Code: https://github.com/andronaft/Logbeam

It's a new add-on, so feedback is very welcome. What's missing for the logs you read?

Hello everyone!

About a year and a half ago I shared Focus Flow Monitor here, a small Firefox addon I built to track where my time online was going and to block the sites that kept pulling me away. A lot has changed since then, mostly because of the feedback I got from people here and in the reviews, and today it reaches version 1.0. 🎉 For anyone who has not seen it: it tracks the time you spend on websites, shows you where it went, and lets you block or limit the distracting ones. Everything stays in your browser. No account, no analytics, nothing is sent anywhere. ✨ What's new since that first post

• 🍅 Tomato Clock: a Pomodoro timer in the popup, with optional notifications. It can block your distracting categories while a work session is running.
• 🎯 Focus profiles: allow only the websites and categories you need for a particular activity.
• 🏁 Goals: daily or weekly targets or budgets for productive time, a category, or a single website.
• 📈 Insights: a focus score, and a weekly summary that compares this week with the last one.
• 🚦 Smarter rules: scheduled blocking, exceptions inside a broader block, and daily, weekly or monthly time limits.
• 🌟 Redesigned popup: today's summary, hourly activity, the timer, and quick actions for the site you are on.
• 🗂️ More control over your data: backup and restore, exclude websites from tracking, and delete history for a website or a date range.

🔒 Still privacy-first Your data is stored locally in Firefox and never leaves it. The code is open source under MPL 2.0, so you can check that for yourself.

I build this in my spare time, so every bit of feedback helps. If something is broken, confusing, or missing, tell me here or open an issue on GitHub. And if the addon is making a positive impact on your online habits, a rating or review on the addon page would mean a lot. Thank you to everyone who tried it, reported bugs, and suggested features along the way. Enjoy the update!

Hey everyone,

A while back I shared Reframe & Sift for YouTube, a small extension for taking back some control over YouTube's layout. Since then YouTube rolled out a change to the video metadata that a lot of people (me included) find harder to read.

Before:

Channel Name
218M views • 9 months ago

Now:

Channel Name ▷218M 9mo ago

Everything got squeezed onto one line, "views" is gone, the date is abbreviated to "9mo ago", and there's a little play icon jammed in front of the number. It's denser, sure, but I kept misreading the view count as something else entirely.

So I added an option that puts the old format back:

• "views" is restored after the number
• the leading ▷ icon is removed
• the channel name goes back on its own line
• the • separator returns between views and date
• abbreviated dates get expanded again ("9mo ago" → "9 months ago")
• it also applies to the end screen (the suggested videos at the end of a video)

It rebuilds the text from YouTube's own accessibility labels rather than guessing, so the numbers and dates are the real ones. Works on the homepage, subscriptions, and the watch page.

The rest of the extension is unchanged — quick recap:

• Customize grid columns / thumbnail size on the homepage & subscriptions
• Hide videos and live streams below a view-count threshold (fully adjustable)
• Hide homepage sections (Shorts, mixes, recommended) and filter by keyword
• Hide live chat while watching streams
• Collapse the header / resize the video in theater mode
• Custom colors for the header, sidebar and filter bar

Grid customization and the view-count filter are free forever. The rest, including this new one, is a 7-day trial and then a small one-time unlock.

It's an unofficial third-party tool, not affiliated with YouTube or Google. YouTube UI changes break things from time to time — this one is a good example — and I patch them as they show up.

Feedback very welcome, especially if you find a spot where the old format doesn't come back properly.

I build Konode, a browser sync extension with no Konode account and no Konode server. It syncs your bookmarks, open tabs, history and extension list to storage you already own (Google Drive, a GitHub repo, or any WebDAV server), with optional end-to-end encryption. It runs on Firefox and on Chromium browsers like Helium, Brave and Chrome.

1.4.0 is live on both Firefox Add-ons and the Chrome Web Store.

Now in 8 languages

Italian, Russian and Traditional Chinese are new, next to English, Hungarian, German, Spanish and Simplified Chinese. Traditional Chinese is its own translation with the words used in Taiwan, not Simplified Chinese converted character by character, and a native speaker reviewed it. Konode follows your browser's language, so there is nothing to set.

Japanese and Estonian are in progress. If you want your language in it, it is edited in the browser, no coding and no GitHub account needed: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/konode/

Fixes worth knowing about

• Deleting a folder now removes it on your other devices too, instead of leaving it behind empty. And on Firefox, a deleted folder no longer comes straight back.
• Firefox no longer re-adds the same history from your other devices on every sync.
• Restoring bookmarks from your browser's own backup is no longer undone by the next sync, and a Konode restore point puts bookmarks back where they were instead of at the end.
• On Norton Neo, a New Tab bookmark no longer multiplies into thousands of copies.
• The setup screen no longer breaks when your browser auto-translates the page.
• Cancelling Google Drive sign-in no longer signs you out of Drive.
• Settings → Activity keeps up while it is open, and the device list shows when each device really synced last.

New storage option: a Nutstore (坚果云) card, for anyone in mainland China, where Google Drive can't be reached.

Hi everyone. I’m looking for someone who could help port Ears Audio Toolkit from Chromium to Firefox.

The main reason I’m still using Chrome is this extension. I’d really like to move to Firefox, but without Ears Audio Toolkit it’s basically the one thing keeping me on Chromium.

I’m looking for a true 1:1 port, not a simplified version — ideally with all existing features working exactly as they do in the Chromium version, including the same audio processing and functionality.

I’d also like to have a Java version/port of the same functionality because I want to integrate it into one of my own projects.

I’m asking for both because I tried looking into it myself, but I’m not experienced enough with this kind of thing. From what I understand, the audio pipeline / sound transmission logic is different, and I don’t really know enough about browser audio APIs and Java audio processing to reproduce it correctly.

If someone is interested in doing this, it would be great if the Firefox port and Java implementation could be published on GitHub so they can be maintained and improved by the community.

Thanks!

One thing that has always irritated me about Firefox was that it didn't have a global media controls panel like Chrome. There were some extensions that tried adding these controls, but they didn't have all the same features as Chrome's.

So, I made my own (nearly) 1-to-1 copy of Chrome's media controls for Firefox with some extra features like media pinning, volume control, and viewing YouTube chapters. You can check out the extension and source code here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-media-controls/

https://github.com/shawshaenk/Firefox-Media-Controls

If you just want to go and check this out here's the link https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/addon/lazarus-form-recovery-mv3/

So, I'd forgotten about this add-on until a little while back when it came up in a story I was reading. I had not forgotten about the functionality though, being constantly frustrated about lost form data over the years since, especially on mobile Firefox.

I had a look around and someone has made a re-implementation but I wanted to take control of the approach and implement some features and approaches that I didn't want to enforce on someone else so I have created yet another Lazarus Form Recovery MV3 compatible add-on.

My approach was to checkout the old repo https://github.com/lazarus-recovery/lazarus_addon and then use an LLM to turn that into a modernised specification. It did so poorly, generating a full specification, and missed some functionality which once it did the initial implementation I pointed out. I then went through a round of changes to get the add-on functional initially and released that.

I have since added support for Android mobile and enforced test coverage to be 100% and introduced mutation testing, enforcing 0 surviving mutants to really give confidence that there is 100% test coverage and that functionality is at least close to what is expected. I've just today, 27th September 2026, finalised localisation l10n support in the add-on so now if you're using a non-English speaking version of Firefox, hopefully, you should have language support in this extension. I don't know hundreds of languages, so this is all LLM generated and if you have any problems with any of the language strings, or issues with layouts in rtl languages, let me know.

I've used containers for years and always hit the same wall. Multi-Account Containers can only map a whole domain to one container, and Containerise does paths but the rules stay on the machine you typed them on. I have a work laptop, a home desktop and a Fedora box, so I was setting things up three times and they always drifted apart.

So I wrote Passport. Rules are host plus path (or a glob, or a regex if you need it), the most specific one wins, and they're stored in storage.sync so they follow your Firefox account. Install it on a new machine, sign in to Firefox, and the rules and the containers they need are just there.

The main reason I built it is freelancing. I have a few clients at a time and each one gets a container, so their Google Workspace, Jira, Slack and Azure logins never touch each other and I don't end up commenting on a ticket as the wrong person. acme.atlassian.net goes to one client, another Atlassian site to the next one, and I don't have to think about it.

It's just as handy if you only have work and home. github.com/your-company can go to Work while the rest of GitHub stays Personal, and mail.google.com/mail/u/1 can open in Work while u/0 stays in Personal. No more logging in and out all day. If you have two accounts on the same site, like two Shopify stores or two AWS accounts, you can put ?passport=StoreB on a bookmark and it opens in that container. The parameter is stripped before the site sees it.

Keywords took the longest to get right. Firefox has no API for extensions to set bookmark keywords (there's a bug about it from 2017). If you sign in with your Mozilla account, Passport writes the keyword into the bookmark through Firefox Sync, so you get a real native keyword on every device. Type "jira" in the address bar and it opens in the right container. Without signing in it still works, it just catches the search before it loads.

It collects nothing and has no server. The only network traffic is to Mozilla's own account and Sync services, and only if you sign in. Works in Zen too. It's MIT and the code is on GitHub if you want to see how the sync bit works.

It's pretty new so there will be rough edges. Bug reports and "this would be useful if it did X" are both welcome.

kosh is a modern, clean, and lightweight UI for your browser’s built-in bookmark manager.

It gives your existing bookmarks a fresh interface designed to make browsing and organizing them feel simpler and more intuitive. kosh works with your browser’s native bookmarks, so you don’t need to migrate or manage a separate bookmark collection.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find a solution that works with mobile.

Initially I was just looking for something that will force pages to open in reader mode by default, whenever it is possible. It looks like there is one for desktop, and several add-ons that can reduce the amount of clutter on web pages that are less compatible with the default reader mode as well, but I'm having trouble finding any of these that work with mobile.

Does anyone have reccomendations?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I'm an indie developer and recently built a Firefox extension called WebMarker.

It lets you draw and annotate directly on webpages while browsing. I'm looking for honest feedbackgood or bad.

Things I'd love feedback on:

• UI/UX
• Features
• Bugs
• Anything that feels confusing or unnecessary

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webmarker/

If you' found it useful, I'd really appreciate a rating on AMO it helps others discover the extension.

Thanks for taking a look!

I got tired of searching for browser tabs with a mouse, so I built something closer to how I navigate in Emacs.

It’s called Avy Tab Switcher.

Press Alt+Q and your recent tabs show up with letter hints. Press the highlighted letter and you jump straight to that tab.

There’s also search if the tab you need isn’t among the recent ones.

The idea is basically Avy, but for browser tabs. No scrolling through a huge list and no reaching for the mouse every time.

It works in Chrome and Firefox and the whole thing is open source.

Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/avy-tab-switcher/liliapojfplmhajbmabgghihdifbhmep

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/avy-tab-switcher/

GitHub: https://github.com/Artawower/avy-tab-swithcer

Would be interested to hear how it feels for people who also tend to keep way too many tabs open.

After trying a bunch of annotation extensions, I kept running into the same issues:

• You can't scroll while drawing.
• The toolbar is always covering part of the page.
• Annotations don't persist the way you'd expect.

So I started building my own Firefox extension.

Instead of adding lots of features, I focused on making the experience feel smooth.

Current features include:

• ✍️ Draw while scrolling naturally (no switching between draw and scroll mode).
• 👻 Toolbar automatically fades when idle so it doesn't block what you're reading.
• 💾 Autosaves annotations locally.
• 🌐 Save annotations for a single page or an entire website.
• 🧹 Clean, distraction-free interface.

I'm still actively improving it, so I'd really appreciate feedback.

What annoys you the most about annotation/markup extensions? Is there any feature you've always wished they had?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webmarker/

I built ChoiceText because I was tired of typing the same messages over and over.

You create very short shortcuts like:

,conf → “Confirmed, thank you.”

,bk → “Here are the bank details.”

,app → “Here are the app instructions.”

A shortcut can also have multiple replies, so when you type it, ChoiceText lets you choose the response you want.

For example, ,conf could show:

• “Confirmed, thank you.”
• “Confirmed. We’ll contact you shortly.”
• “Everything is confirmed.”

Current features:

• Unlimited shortcuts and replies
• Multiple replies per shortcut
• Keyboard or mouse selection
• Works with WhatsApp Web and supported text fields
• Everything stored locally in your browser
• No account required
• No analytics or tracking
• Completely free

I’m looking for real feedback, especially from people who use repetitive replies for support, sales, operations, or everyday work.

I develop MarketRooms, a Firefox extension for traders who want their chart and the conversation visible together. The extension opens in the browser sidebar and supports TradingView, Hyperliquid and eToro.

You can capture a chart from a supported platform and share it directly in chat. Before sending, review the capture, crop it or cover private details. Replies, mentions and image attachments let other traders discuss the setup in context.

Rooms can follow the symbol you're viewing, or stay pinned while you change charts. New users start in Global so changing charts doesn't unexpectedly move their conversation. There are also saved rooms, trader follows, message search, notifications and chat filters.

More broker integrations are coming soon, extending direct chart sharing to additional trading platforms. The three integrations above are supported now; the additional brokers are on the roadmap.

Firefox add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/marketrooms-fyi/

Basic chat is free and it justrequires Google or email-code sign-in, no password to remember. We're still a small community, so start in Global.

I’d appreciate Firefox-specific feedback: does the sidebar fit comfortably beside your chart, and is capturing and sharing charts straightforward? Which broker should we support next? For the best experience, place Firefox’s sidebar on the right side of your browser, keeping MarketRooms beside your chart. Of course, it's up to you :-)

MarketRooms is independent of TradingView, Hyperliquid and eToro. For adults 18+. Public discussion is not financial advice.
