Firefox Add-On Source Code

markwarner22 replied

Hi, I am looking at an add-on for Firefox on addons.mozilla.org. It says "This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing." Under "More Information", it links to a Github page with source code. When "not actively monitored", does Mozilla at least check that the Github page linked to is what is being installed? The add-on is very simple and so I feel confident trusting the code on the Github page, but in clicking "Add to Firefox", I want to make sure that that is indeed the code I am adding.

Thanks!

Best regards, Nicholas

Your best to contact the Addon developer and ask that question.
