PAB for Firefox

Answered

Please add a Phish Alert Button for the Firefox browser.

We have a substantial number of users who prefer the Firefox browser while the rest use Chrome. So half of our users utilize the PAB in Chrome but the other half cannot because there is no PAB extension for Firefox. This has led to lost value in our phishing campaigns and added burden of manually and unnecessarily reviewing reports of KB4 simulated phishing emails from Firefox users.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for making this suggestion! I'm sorry to hear the lack of a Firefox PAB has caused some issue but I've gone ahead and put in the request to our development and product team for you. If others also feel this will make a great addition, please feel free to let us know in this thread so we can continue to let our dev team know of the increase number of support!

Cheers,

Kaiser

PAB for Firefox would also be greatly appreciated by me and my company. We are wanting to train PAB out to all users as our centralized service for reporting phishing emails for us to manage through PhishER.

All of our users are on Firefox, so I think this is a must have.

Thank you for your contributions to the community board on this one. I will submit additional feature requests for you on getting the Firefox PAB integration.

We appreciate you upvoting the post.

I concur, many of our staff use Firefox and Safari, there should be PAB integrations with multiple browsers not just Chrome.

We also have a significant userbase for Firefox and other web-browsers (safari, edge) that sign into G-Suite to view emails.

Thank you,

Hello Yisrael,

Thank you for your submission to the community board. I've submitted a request for a PAB that works on Firefox to the development team on your behalf.

Hello Douglas,

We also have a number of users, including myself, who uses Firefox instead of Chrome. Hoping your dev team will be able to accommodate us.

Thanks!

We have users using Firefox as well. Is there an estimated time for this to be completed?

Hi Tricia,

Thank you for your contribution to the community board.

We don't have an ETA for you at this time on this project but I will submit an additional feature request on your behalf so that the dev team knows that it's being requested!

On June 8, Yisrael Lipschitz also mentioned Edge as a browser in use. Now that it is Chromium based we are seeing growing adoption of Edge within our organization. As MS advertises that Edge can now download extensions from the Chrome Web Store (as can Brave Browser for that matter), it seems there are not technical reasons the PAB would not work for those browsers. Are there plans to add PAB to Edge now?

We have Firefox users, as well. Edge and Brave are also becoming more widely used, too. Is there any update on at least the Firefox extension? Also can a feature request be submitted for Brave and Edge, as well, especially since they are Chromium based?

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for posting to our community board. Unfortunately, I do not have any insight into the status of a PAB extension for Firefox. I definitely can see why this would be highly valuable though. I have gone ahead and added you to the feature request for the PAB extension for Firefox as well as submitted feature requests for Brave and Edge Browsers to have a PAB extension.

We would also like to put a plug in for a Brave browser extension. We are moving all users to a Brave config and would like to port the PAB as well. Any ETA?

Hi Lance,

Thank you for your post. I went ahead and added a +1 for you to the feature request for a Brave browser extension for PAB. I do not have insight into if or when this will be implemented but I agree this would be a good enhancement to our product. We do take these suggestions very seriously and really do appreciate customer feedback.

My company uses Firefox exclusively. We're waiting for this plugin, too. Please add us to the notification list.

Hello, we're very interested in deploying a Firefox PAB to our corporate users through Firefox enterprise controls as well. Unfortunately, much PAB feedback is missed because only some of our staff use Chrome. Please add me to the notification for this feature.

Hello Sean,

No problem, I have added you to the feature request as well. I also wanted to mention if you are using Google Workspace, we have released a new version of the Phish Alert Button for Workspace call the GPAB Add-on. This version of the PAB is compatible with most browsers like Firefox and will also work on the Gmail mobile app. I have put a link to the Product Manual for the GPAB add-on below for you if you are interested. Thank you for posting.
