Tried for 1st time today given how most other libby DL tools have all broken recently. This appears to be affected the same way. Any download fails with the "Loading state: failed" error. Tried the "Reset everything" option as well with no change. I expect it's not anything specific to this extension, and rather, libby has changed their authentication mechanism. Hopefully this will be fixed soon we we can all update the reviews.

Is Libby Download 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.

Libby Download requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows the extension to observe and analyze traffic in flight for the selected hosts.
Medium ****** ********** ** ******** ********** *** ********* ******* ******** ****** ******** ****** ********
Low ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** ************* *************

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.

Libby Download may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
