User Reviews

This is dead useful. I have told the developer to make how to use it a bit clearer on the "About this Extension." It should state where the add-on appears in a Jira ticket. It's unobtrusive in the Jira view and where it is placed. You get to pick the versions to compare, it shows them next to each other with differences highlighted.

This extension is okay I guess. I can now see my Jira diffs with ease. My PM always tried to sneak in a few acceptance criteria and pretend they'd been there the whole time. Not anymore... I see you.

Is Jira Description Diff Viewer 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.

Jira Description Diff Viewer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
Medium ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** *************

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.

Jira Description Diff Viewer is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
