I'm giving it 5, even though a significant piece of functionality is broken. This app opens up HUGE vistas of the Google ecosystem to end users. Theoretically, it should allow you instant, and easy access to your Google account(s). It supports multiple accounts, which is terrific.
The one downside is that the Gmail applet thing doesn't show any mail. I have zero doubt it's because Google once again screwed around with the API and access, but that part is broken for now. Hopefully Jeurissen will be able to correct that problem soon, so it's fully functional again.

Last update redesigned the extension and completely destroyed the workflow. This redesign was unnecessary.

Is Black Menu for Google™ Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Black Menu for Google™ requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Black Menu for Google™ is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
