Features & Capabilities

Unlike the desktop site, the mobile site of GitHub does not display the "Watch" and "Star" buttons and statistics for repositories when the user is not logged in. Even when the user is logged in, the mobile site does not display the number of "watchers" a repository has. This add-on uses the GitHub API to get those statistics and add the buttons to the page.

While this add-on is primarily intended for Firefox for Android, it can be useful on desktop Firefox if you intend to request the mobile version of GitHub (for example, through changing the User-Agent string).

Is GitHub Buttons on Mobile 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.

GitHub Buttons on Mobile requires a few 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.
