Feature request: Firefox support?
Fadyio opened this issue · comments
Any plans to support Firefox?
Yeah, but unfortunately firefox hasn't implemented declarativeNetRequest.onRuleMatchedDebug
I don't know of any other way to do it

While we can't see the requests in FF, I think we can block them.
I'm not sure how useful that'd be. The extension won't be able to give you any feedback but it could allow you to just block network requests for a particular extension (or all.)
I haven't tried it, but you can probably do that with uBlock Origin already using custom rules.
Ah that's interesting I wasn't sure if UBO was working with extension traffic.
So it might be the case that requests are made but then blocked by UBO
Little rat would show these?
I looked into this a couple of weeks ago
But couldn't find clear answers
But this thread suggests no UBO can't block extension traffic so still huge security risks:
In Firefox, I can't even filter requests originating from other extensions, no matter what I try.
Closing this, I don't see a way of making this work in FF. Reopen if you have any ideas
There is probably a security benefit in not allowing extensions to spy on each other. But, if that's the route Mozilla is going for, I think they should implement the functionality of Little Rat into the browser itself. Someone write a feature request?
