Firefox Extension

Data Type: firefox_extension
Python Parser: FirefoxExtension

Description

Each row describes a Firefox add-on, including identity, version, install path, source, declared permissions or origins, and install or update times. Use it to assess extension provenance and capability or hunt for risky permissions and unexpected installation sources. Declared capability is not observed behavior, and the snapshot can miss removed add-ons.
