Acerca desta extensão
LinkCage opens links you don't trust inside a throwaway, isolated browser - on your own computer - so nothing dangerous touches your real browser.
REQUIREMENTS (read before installing)
This add-on is one part of a three-part tool. It needs:
- Docker Desktop, installed and running, and
- The free, open-source LinkCage companion host (one-time install).
The add-on is only the trigger. Without Docker and the host it cannot launch a sandbox. Setup: https://linkcage.app
HOW IT WORKS
Right-click an untrusted link and choose "Open in LinkCage." The URL is handed, via native messaging, to the local companion host, which spins up a disposable Chromium browser inside an isolated Docker container. Malicious content stays in that container - never reaching Firefox, your files, or your credentials. Close it and the container is destroyed (RAM-only).
Before the page loads, the host checks the link against URLhaus and Google Safe Browsing and shows a SAFE / SUSPICIOUS / MALICIOUS splash.
PRIVACY
- No LinkCage cloud service; the add-on sends nothing to us.
- The add-on transmits the clicked URL only to the local companion host, over native messaging.
- The host performs the reputation lookup directly against URLhaus and Google Safe Browsing. In-sandbox browsing is not logged or transmitted.
- Open-source and auditable.
WHAT IT IS NOT
Not antivirus. It does not monitor or filter normal Firefox browsing. It isolates only the links you choose to cage.

Source code, the one-time installer, and setup steps: https://linkcage.app and https://github.com/yaxzone/LinkCage
The add-on never contacts any LinkCage server. It hands the clicked URL to the local host over native messaging; the host runs the reputation check (URLhaus + Google Safe Browsing) and opens the link in a disposable Docker Chromium container that is destroyed when you close it.
