I am using it and love it. Shows the ip and flag of country a web page is located by default at a glance. You can right click and get whois netcraft viruscan and much more built in. I already added custom filter for WOT look up also.

Flagfox – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Flagfox for Firefox. Displays a country flag depicting the location of the current website's server and provides a multitude of tools such as site safety checks, whois, translation, similar sites, validation, URL shortening, and more...

Flagfox is an extension that displays a flag icon indicating the current webserver's physical location. Knowing where you're connected to adds an extra layer of awareness to your browsing and can be useful to indicate the native languages and legal jurisdictions that may apply. Additional information can be obtained via a multitude of external lookups and users can add their own custom actions. All actions can be added to the flag icon's context menu and set to icon click or keyboard shortcuts for quick access.

Clicking the flag icon loads our default action, Geotool, which gives a detailed map showing the city the server is in and other useful information such as its local time and ISP. Many other actions are available for a wide range of uses such as:

• Site safety and malware checks
• Finding similar sites and reviews
• Automatic translation to your language
• SEO and web development research
• Diagnostics like pings and traceroutes
• Whois and DNS information
• Page code validation
• Quick URL shortening
• Copying a server's IP address or other info
• or you can create your own custom actions!

Flagfox is simple, unobtrusive, and uses relatively little resources. In order to protect your privacy, country lookups are done locally rather than asking an external server about every page you browse to. It works by accessing an internal IP address location database, basically a rough map of the physical layout of the Internet, based on data provided by Maxmind. This gives a flag for the nationality of the actual location of the server you're connected to, rather than just the nationality of the domain name which may be different. Flagfox updates are provided on a monthly basis to keep this internal database accurate.

I have used it in the past and it's a nice addon. I just installed it again.

I've been using this add-on for quite some time, simply to satisfy my curiosity.
It's a little off topic, but software that allows you to check the country of communication is also resident in the notification area.

@Tutman thanks for the tiip

I like its easy 1-2-3 click access to third-party services. I have VT-scan on 1-mouse click, Netcraft on 2-clicks and SSL-checker on 3-clicks (also added WOT as an option)

Great add-on
