Summary
Your GitHub notifications will be available in an instant popup, on all pages, perfectly integrated with GitHub.

The notifications icon will now also preview the number of notifications available.

This extension also makes the notifications indicator more reliable, even after a connection loss. Currently GitHub loses the WebSocket connection and no longer updates the indicator, but Notifications Preview fixes that.
Safety
Risk impact

Notifications Preview for GitHub requires some risky permissions and may not be safe to use. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing.

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, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

Notifications Preview for GitHub has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

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, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
