Is Zoom for Firefox safe?

Clean risk

Zoom for Firefox captures visible-tab screenshots for magnifier mode and places them in the page DOM.

When magnifier mode is enabled, the extension captures the active tab as a PNG data URL and injects it into the page as the background image of a DOM element. Scripts running on that page can read the element's background image value while the magnifier is present.
