Firefox addon that provides transparent access to IPFS resources via local HTTP2IPFS gateway.
(If you are using Google Chrome or Chromium check ipfs-chrome-extension or ipfs-chrome-station instead)
- Toolbar icon displays current IPFS peering status
- Click on it to open IPFS actions menu
- Display information about custom gateway
- Toggle redirection to the gateway (ON by default)
- Open WebUI (eg. go-ipfs daemon running at the custom gateway)
- Additionally, on pages loaded from IPFS:
- Pin IPFS Resource (via API)
- Copy canonical IPFS address
- Copy shareable URL to resource at a default public gateway (first one on public gateway list)
- Requests to
https?://<public_gateway>/(ipfs|ipns)/$RESOURCE
are replaced withhttp://127.0.0.1:8080/(ipfs|ipns)/$RESOURCE - Custom Gateway address and other settings can be tweaked at
about:addons→ Extensions → IPFS Gateway Redirect → Preferences - Requests made via popular custom protocols are routed to the active gateway (public or custom):
[web+](ipfs|ipns):/*$RESOURCE[web+]fs:/*(ipfs|ipns)/$RESOURCE
- Experimental features (disabled by default, use Preferences screen to enable)
- Automatic Mode: enable/disable redirect based on the number of peers
- Detect and redirect sites with dnslink to
/ipns/<fqdn> - Rewrite hrefs with
/ip(f|n)s/*paths on every page to point to IPFS gateway. Make plaintext IPFS links clickable.
The easiest way is to get it from addons.mozilla.org:
It will guarantee automatic updates to the latest version reviewed by Mozilla community.
It is also possible to manually build XPI from the latest relase sources, however offical Firefox builds do not accept unsigned XPIs anymore.
Please read SECURITY.md if you want to perform quick security audit BEFORE installation.
By default NoScript breaks this addon by blocking assets loaded from IPFS Gateway running on localhost.
To make it work, one needs to extend the SYSTEM Rulset and prepend it with IPFS whitelist:
# Enable IPFS redirect to LOCAL
Site ^http://127.0.0.1:8080/(ipfs|ipns)*
Anonymize
# Prevent Internet sites from requesting LAN resources.
Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
Deny
Feel free to modify it, but get familiar with ABE rule syntax first.
