User Reviews

Users like the add-on’s clean UI, usefulness, and broad emoji coverage, but several reviews repeatedly complain it’s outdated (missing newer emojis), lacks variant/flag options, and inserts colon-style shortcodes instead of Unicode, which breaks compatibility on social sites. Many praise it but recommend updating or choosing a maintained alternative.

Pros

Clean, easy-to-use UI and helpful emoji guide — users find it practical and well-designed.
Reliable in daily use; several reviewers say it works well and they use it frequently.
Good overall emoji coverage for many common needs (some say ~99% of what they want).
Some users prefer it to other extensions and appreciate the author’s work.

Cons

App has been left unmaintained/rarely updated — multiple reviewers note missing newer emojis.
Emojis are inserted as shortcodes (e.g. :this:) rather than Unicode, causing incompatibility with sites like Twitter and other social platforms.
Lacks newer emoji variants and features (skin-tone/other diversity options, some flags or platform-specific styles like iOS emojis).

I wish it was still updated but as you can see on github it's been radio silence in 8 years unfortunately, I prefer this to other extensions but it's worth considering an alternative now that this has been left behind. The biggest issue is I'm used to iOS emojis and have a much easier time looking for them, I don't see anyone else offering a valuable alternative.

Is Emoji Cheatsheet 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.

Emoji Cheatsheet requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

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.

Emoji Cheatsheet has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
