- Remember 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/
- Csillagos értékelés: 5 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 13676155, 6 éveThis 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! - Great 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.

közzétéve: 6 éveAll these permissions are needed to let the extension works properly. I deleted exaggerated permissions since the comment that you mentioned. And I said that in comments but moderator of the site deleted the user comment with my answer. :)
If you worry about security and if you think that the extension that works locally can some how make a harm then you can use the extension without an installation as I described in the extension description. In the case the extension will be executed in a Firefox sandbox as a usual local HTML page.
I know that the code of the extension is not an ideal and I am going to improve it as soon as I have time. Now the extension works and does what It should. :)
Well, so many questions about these useless permissions :) I think I should add some info about it to the description.- Csillagos értékelés: 5 / 5készítette: Latisha Chan, 6 éve

közzétéve: 7 éveI 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.
