User reviews
Users find the JetBrains Toolbox Extension convenient for opening projects directly in JetBrains IDEs from the browser, streamlining their workflow. However, many report limitations such as lack of support for all installed IDEs, especially Android Studio and Rider, incorrect IDE selection, and inadequate user guidance. Some users experience non-functionality or errors, and documentation links fail to provide proper support. Overall, while the extension adds useful integration, it requires improvements in IDE support and clearer usage instructions. Pros
- Provides quick access to open projects in JetBrains IDEs directly from browser tabs or GitHub repositories
- Simplifies the workflow by reducing steps needed to launch projects in IDEs
- Generally works as expected when compatible IDEs are installed
- Enhances convenience for JetBrains IDE users by adding browser integration
- Popular among users who appreciate streamlined project opening
Cons
- Limited to pre-defined JetBrains IDEs and lacks customization to select installed IDEs
- Does not support some IDEs like Android Studio or Rider properly, leading to incorrect or missing options
- Lacks clear instructions or user guidance on how to use the extension effectively
- Some users report that it does not work at all or fails to respond to actions
- The support and documentation links are insufficient or redirect to general pages without help

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