- Rated 5 out of 5by Louie Torres, 4 years agoIt does exactly what it needs to - showing the number of tabs. Maybe it could show the index of the tab like 4/24 or something, but that's just a suggestion.
Again, otherwise, nothing to complain about. Simple and fast. Thank you for your work!Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for your suggestion! However, I don't have much space, so 5 characters like 10/25 would be quite unreadable with a SVG icon, and would be clipped to 10/2 with a WebExtension badge.
But it might be possible to just show the index of the current tab, without the number of tabs. - Rated 5 out of 5by John Homebrew, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by zephyr707, 4 years agoSeems the best option available and does not have any added permissions, but is there a way to display both current and global tab count and maybe also total window count? There are some add ons in firefox that do one or the other and some that display both current and global tabs, but none that do all three
edit: great, thanks for the update! I'm sticking with this one, cheersDeveloper response
posted 4 years agoYou are not the first one to request this, so I have just done it! Please check version 3.4 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firepal, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ramon V M, 5 years agoThis add-on is simple and light, just what I needed to have in mind how many tabs I have and therefore the amount of RAM Firefox is using. Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by fredy peralta, 6 years agocumple su cometido, te dice el total de abiertas y cuantas pestañas en cada ventana.
- Rated 5 out of 5by jerboa88, 6 years agoWorks really great! It's unfortunate that the text can't be made any larger but I understand you don't have a lot of space to work with. Perhaps you could use a taller font to use up more space vertically as the text is a little hard to read sometimes. Thank you sir!
Developer response
posted 5 years agoExactly, the problem is that the browser doesn't give me much space. I already experimented with tall fonts, but it actually looked even harder to read :( But glad that you like it! - Rated 5 out of 5by Soustruh, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14554732, 6 years agoThis was the first tab counter extension I've found that works on the Android app.
Developer response
posted 6 years agoThanks for your feedback! In fact I only designed the add-on for Firefox desktop, so if it works on Android it's mostly by chance. But I will try to keep this in mind and check that future updates continue working on Android. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14544026, 6 years agoBest tab counter ever. Thank you and congratulations.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14269091, 7 years agoEDIT: It appears the review was submitted before I had finished writing it. So I've deleted my original review and am re-posting it.
Unfortunately, there's less functionality than Michael Kraft's original. I vastly prefer this compared to the replacement suggested by Firefox, and I do enjoy the ability to click on the counter to view the total number of open tabs.
What this add-on does, it does well. However, providing font customisation would make it a perfect 5 star add-on. I rather liked using a bold text number to display the number of tabs but that's not possible with this add on. Some basic font customisation would be nice.
It's also a shame that the size of the text becomes very small when the number of open tabs increases to 3 or more digits, but I expect this is a limitation caused by Firefox (I think all toolbar icons must be the same size) so I haven't deducted a star for this. Still, it would be nice if you could find a workaround.
Regardless, thank you for taking your time to write this extension. Even if you're unable to include font customisation, it's still vastly better than not having a tab counter. Its funny how much you miss the little things in life when they're taken away from you!
EDIT #2: Thanks for getting back to me! It looks like you've basically done all you can within the limitations set by WebExtensions so I've upgraded the review to 5 stars. Hopefully font customisation works out, but I won't hold my breath as I'm not sure if you'll be able to do much within the 16 pixels available.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for your feedback!
Effectively, WebExtension APIs provide no way to increase the size of the icon. I only have 16 pixels, that's a bit too few for 3 digits, and totally insufficient for more digits.
I will consider adding some font customization, tracked in https://github.com/Loirooriol/tab-counter-plus/issues/13 - Rated 5 out of 5by tubeliar, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14142584, 7 years agolove it :D
*EDIT
I have two Tab counter addons installed, one that shows th
total open tabs
and one that shows
total open tabs in any window :D
so that I do not have to click and check :D
I am a bit lazy :pDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoGlad to hear it! I'm thinking about ways to make it even better.
*EDIT
Being able to have multiple browser actions (i.e toolbar icons) per extension could be interesting, I will propose it if I can come up with a nice API.
