With the release of Firefox 67, the Mozilla Foundation will release Firefox Monitor as an additional extension by default. For those who do not know, today it is an autonomous service with which users can find out if their data has leaked.
So this service will be released publicly for all Firefox users and will offer prealerts in real time when a user visits a hacked website and data is leaked.
The feature though does not work on Firefox 65 and 66.
According to the bug Tracker (#1, #2), users already subscribed to Firefox Monitor receive a notification about the compromised pages. Also, if the webσελίδα διόρθωσε τα κενά ασφαλείας μετά την παραβίαση και την διαρροή δεδομένων, τότε το πρόγραμμα περιήγησης δεν θα εμφανίζει ειδοποιήσεις.
Enable Firefox Monitor add-on in Firefox 65 and 66
Firefox Monitor is already available in Firefox 65 but is disabled by default. To work, you must turn it on manually. Let's see how:
Start your Firefox browser and in the address bar type: about: config
An internal page will open. Click the "I accept the risk" button to continue.
Then, in the search bar, copy and paste “extensions.fxmonitor.enabled ”and the setting will be displayed.
You will find that his value is set to False. To change the value to True, double-click it. This will turn Firefox Monitor into your browser.
Restart your Firefox browser.
If you are now visiting a site that is already in the list of pages that have been violated by HaveIBeenPwned, a warning will appear in the URL bar to alert you that the page has broken and data has been leaked.
