User reviews

The Buffer Firefox add-on is beneficial for users already utilizing Buffer to curate and share content on social media. However, multiple users report significant problems with the text editor's inconsistent behavior, inability to change or save settings, and annoying text alterations that disrupt posting. The add-on also lacks customization options for certain menu items. Additionally, customer support appears unresponsive to issue reports. While the core Buffer service is appreciated, the add-on's current usability issues detract from its overall value.

Pros

Useful for Buffer users to curate and manage content.
Helpful for sharing publications on social media platforms.
Overall service (Buffer) is considered useful and great by some users.

Cons

Text editor behavior is inconsistent and unintuitive.
Settings cannot be changed or saved properly.
Extension alters text input in unexpected ways (e.g., duplicating words, removing paragraphs).
Lack of options to remove unwanted menu items like 'save for later' and 'open with pablo'.
Poor or unresponsive customer support for the add-on issues.

Extension safety

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.

Buffer 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Buffer is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
