Turn Firefox into a file manager

Firefox extensions add loads of different functionalities to the browser, and the latest one we've come to know is managing files with Firefly.

Firefly transforms Firefox into a full featured file manager with which to browse the contents of your hard drive. The extension adds a new toolbar to the browser's interface and works on the same tab-based scheme.

Firefly offers several viewing possibilities (from thumbnails to a detailed list, like in Windows Explorer) and features the most basic managing editing tools like copying, moving, pasting or renaming. It even displays an photo preview when you hover your mouse over image files.

What I specially liked about Firefly is the choice of layouts: you can have the classic one-window view, but can also choose to have a double-pane view that makes file management even easier. On the downside, despite Firefly works fine, I found it a bit glitchy.

Firefly adds a handy file management functionality to your favorite web browser, though I think it still needs a bit more development.

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
