Extension Metadata

About this extension
find Ref is a lightweight Firefox sidebar extension offering swift, offline access to essential GNU find command options, tests, actions, and common usage patterns.

Designed for programmers, system administrators, developers, and power users who rely on the powerful find utility for searching, filtering, and processing files in terminal environments.

Features:
• Comprehensive Database: 70+ core find elements covering path specification, name/path matching (-name, -regex), file types (-type), permissions (-perm), ownership (-user/-group), size (-size), time modifiers (-mtime, -mmin), depth control (-maxdepth), pruning, actions (-exec, -delete, -ls), and practical real-world examples with concise descriptions.
• Smart Search: Real-time filtering by option, test, action, or description for instant lookups.
• Compact Sidebar Interface: Space-efficient design with bold red commands, clear spacing, and hanging indents for excellent readability.
• Offline Functionality: Works entirely offline with all data stored locally.

Security-First Design:
• No Permissions: Requires zero browser permissions.
• No Data Collection: Operates completely offline - no network requests, no telemetry.
• No Tracking: No analytics or monitoring of user activity.
• Self-Contained: Built with pure JavaScript, HTML, and CSS - no external dependencies or libraries.
• Secure Implementation: Uses only safe DOM methods.
• Mozilla Compliance: Fully adheres to Manifest v2 standards and Mozilla’s privacy and security guidelines.

Perfect for rapid reference while writing complex find commands, cleaning up files, managing permissions, or automating tasks in scripts.
