Is Turbo Download Manager safe?
Turbo Download Manager accepts download commands from any other installed Firefox extension without validating the sender's identity.
The extension registers a runtime.onMessageExternal listener that allows any Firefox extension to trigger file downloads to the user's disk by sending add-jobs or store-links messages. Because Firefox does not enforce the externally_connectable manifest restriction that Chrome uses, there is no origin gate: any extension that knows Turbo Download Manager's ID can initiate arbitrary downloads on the user's behalf. No user data is transmitted to external servers as part of this behavior.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 6 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
