How It Works
This add-on provides file system access to your local home folder to any WebExtension using the VFS Toolkit. After granting access, these WebExtensions can read/write files in your home folder. Because modern WebExtensions cannot directly access the local file system, it uses Mozilla's Native Messaging to communicate with a small helper application running on your computer.
The architecture has two parts:
The native helper can be downloaded from the add-ons option page, after it has been installed. Python 3 is required to run the helper application.

The architecture has two parts:
- This add-on receives file system requests from consumer extensions and forwards them to the native helper over a secure local pipe.
- The native helper runs on your computer and performs the actual file system operations, rooted at your home directory.
