The add-on works, but the add-on's author could write something more precisely about the privacy of this add-on and whether it collects any data, because this add-on is not actively monitored by Mozilla.

Is Active Tab Highlighter 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.
Active Tab Highlighter requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
