- Rated 5 out of 5by iana, 5 years agoRemember a time when you could edit your search engines with a text editor, sadly wanting to save a few bytes mozilla removed this feature, thankfully this little addon brings back this functionality. the sad thing is that even as it's based on lz4 standard lz4 unpackers can't open mozilla search settings/

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13676155, 5 years agoThis is a great little add-on for editing your search engines!
Just remember that it saves the file into your downloads folder. I spent half an hour trying to work out what the two save buttons were doing! - Rated 5 out of 5by mono-k, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Justa Guy, 6 years agoGreat tool that does exactly what it should. This allowed me to get into a mozlz4 without loading Python dependencies or other older/unmaintained LZ4 utilities. You also accounted for the funky extra bytes at the top of the file that make decryption more difficult for a basic LZ4 utility. Thank you VERY much.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Donald Reed, 7 years agoIf this is offline addon then why it needs such wide permissions? Access to all sites? history?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoI guess I should answer here. :) I think that permission system of Mozilla's addons is useless. It's possible to do something bad with almost any of these permissions. And a people who will check permissions before clicking "Yes" are just paranoids. I mean nobody will check permissions except few people even if we speak about software developers. All what this system does is spend software developer time. Checking security of addons is Mozilla's job not users.
If I have enough time I will fix this and delete exaggerated permissions.
