User Reviews
Pros
- Extremely useful and long-running plugin that keeps getting better (permissions reduced).
- Excellent Gmail support—formatting, links, code blocks, lists and bullets work as expected.
- Works in Outlook.
- Also works on any site that allows rich editing, not just email.
Cons
- Very unreliable and often fails to work.
- LaTeX support breaks (no longer works) and math-mode ($...$) can delete content.
- Causes random crashes when used with the Webpage Sidebar extension.

Is Markdown Here 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.
Markdown Here does not require any sensitive permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
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.
Markdown Here is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
