8 extensions to increase the security of Firefox

You are used to navigate the dangerous waters? Do you fear for your safety and keep all'incolumità of your system? We have tested and selected for you and several extensions to the Red Panda, which can also help with malware and keep out scammers.

The network security is one of the most important things today. Hundreds of websites are specifically designed to steal sensitive data to users and malicious people are just waiting for the right moment for a trap.

We present some extensions whose purpose is to improve the security and privacy of Mozilla Firefox.

FormFox

FormFox can discover which page will be sent information that we are entering into a form.

Just pause with the pointer on the submit button to find out where else to go the entries.

NoScript

NoScript is the emblem of Firefox extension that adds security. Allows execution of JavaScript, Java and other code potentially "active" only from sites you trust.

I do not approve this extension a lot because it tends to block everything that could potentially be a source of problems, but if site paranoid or particularly concerned about your safety, is an add-on to be evaluated carefully.

Stealther

With Stealther (guide) we have already suffered from the private browsing mode that will come with future versions of all web browsers.

We can thus avoid local computer to save the history, cache, cookies, downloaded files list, recently closed tabs, information entered in forms. At the same time, we will not submit sites visited and the browser version of the operating system.

LinkExtend

LinkExtend (guide) provides the level of safety, ethics, safety for children, pagerank and various other information of the current page or a link.

A few clicks to get a thorough response from several authoritative sources on the subject.

Wot

Wot (Guide) is a Web community that has developed a program that deals with classification of Web sites

Each site is marked by a different color depending on its content. When a site is marked in red it is denied access.

NoXSS

NoXSS is an extension that tries to protect you from any XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) in the sites visited.

SQL Inject Me

SQL Inject Me, on the same line NoXSS, protects against SQL-Injection. Or, rather, helps web application developers to detect problems before they are crackers to discover them.

How does it work? The extension works by replacing the values ​​entered in other forms that could accomplish such an attack. Search the database for any errors, then the next page.

StartupMaster

StartupMaster allows the user to protect access to the browser with a password.

It must be said that this adds a degree of security is very relative. Extensions can also be disabled by starting the browser in Safe Mode (Safe Mode), bypassing the control and then disabling the plug-in.

It is therefore interesting only to ward off some inexperienced user, or provided to aid in security policies rather than restrictive.
