OpenAI Browser Integration for Prompt Security (Firefox)

The AccuKnox Prompt Firewall browser plugin intercepts prompts and responses directly in ChatGPT before they leave your browser session. Blocked prompts show a red banner. Allowed ones pass through silently.

This guide covers installation for Mozilla Firefox. For Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge), see the Chrome integration guide.

Important notes for Firefox

Temporary vs Permanent installation

The steps above load the add-on as a temporary installation, which means it will be unloaded when you restart Firefox. For a permanent installation, you can package the add-on or contact AccuKnox support for options to deploy the extension permanently.

Developer mode

Unlike Chrome, Firefox does not require explicitly enabling developer mode to load temporary add-ons. Simply navigate to about:debugging to begin.
