Modern browsers tend to communicate with their end users on various security aspects of their ongoing operations. Such communication clarifies certain errors and warning in web sites user visiting and warns users of potential risks such as invalid SSL certificates, unsecured cookies, etc. However, such security information is largely dispersed at present in the browsers. To check security information of a website, users of Firefox need to search multiple data sources in the browser such as error console, cookie manager, certificate manager, etc. This hinders users from checking security related information for a website. The aim of this project is to build a Firefox add-on that provides security information about a website to advanced users in a single place. | Modern browsers tend to communicate with their end users on various security aspects of their ongoing operations.
