Is CRX Installer safe?
Installs Chrome Web Store CRX extensions in supported Firefox-based browsers.
This extension is intended for Zen Browser, Firefox Nightly, Firefox Developer Edition, and LibreWolf, with regular Firefox requiring additional setup. The description says non-Zen browsers need the xpinstall.signatures.required setting changed in about:config. Its permissions allow extension management, tab access, storage, contextual identities, and access to Chrome Web Store and related Google download hosts.
