  • Local Blob download path for text exports, robots reports, page-copy documents, HTTP trace files, and image ZIP downloads.

Shared Screens And Abilities

The Firefox build includes the shared Shumway SEO Toolkit v0.1.9 audit model unless a browser-specific limit is listed below.

  • Local active-tab SEO auditing with no account, analytics, tracking pixels, remote logging, or background crawling.
  • Web Vitals workspace with local Core Web Vitals, CrUX current field data, CrUX history, PageSpeed Insights lab data, refresh controls, and exports.
  • Full in-page SEO workspace for Overview, Headings, Links, Images, Schema, Robots, Social, Style, SERP, Webmaster Tools, Tools, Exports, About, and Support.
  • HTTP Trace workspace for status codes, response headers, server redirects, final responses, JavaScript redirects, and meta-refresh redirects.
  • On-demand link checking for up to 250 URLs per batch with exact status codes, redirect destinations, inline badges, filters, retries, persistent sessions, and exports.
  • Rendered page inspection for titles, descriptions, canonicals, headings, links, images, structured data, social metadata, styles, accessibility signals, and source-vs-rendered differences.
  • Robots.txt review with grouped multi-crawler testing for core crawlers, detected site-specific crawlers, AI search bots, AI training crawlers, AI user-retrieval bots, and other known crawlers.
  • Editable desktop and mobile SERP previews with rich-result-style modules and PNG/WebP preview downloads where downloads are supported.
  • Rendered accessibility tree review with landmarks, headings, controls, images, issue chips, multi-select filters, sortable rows, locator copy, JSON export, and expandable previews after the first 100 semantic nodes.
  • Documented export and extraction limits: Markdown table truncation, TXT formatting, style sampling, robots.txt/source fetch caps, image ZIP caps, and skipped cross-origin stylesheet behavior.
  • Colorblind-friendlier accessible color palette for users who do not want severity communicated by red and green alone.
  • CSV, TSV, JSON, Markdown, spreadsheet, image, schema, robots, HTTP trace, page-copy, SERP image, Web Vitals, and accessibility-tree exports where supported by the browser.

Known Browser Limits

  • Toggle JavaScript is not available because Firefox does not expose Chromium contentSettings.javascript.
  • Firefox must be built from the Firefox target; do not reuse the Chrome ZIP for AMO.
  • Some context-menu placements depend on Firefox's supported extension contexts.
