User Reviews

In my opinion, Paperpile is the best reference manager - it is fast and updated regularly with new features.

Works perfectly! Just like on Chrome. I can easily and quickly import references and PDFs into my library and assign references to specific folders all from within the extension. Thank you for supporting Firefox!

I installed it a few days ago and so far it seems to work fine as it does on Google Chrome. It is a great tool for my literature management.

Is Paperpile 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.

Paperpile requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

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