## Description

Auto-number Windows is a Firefox extension designed to preserve the order of windows in the Mac OS 'Window' menu by auto-numbering them sequentially. This solves the issue introduced in Firefox 108, where window menus are sorted alphabetically instead of by the order of window creation. The add-on requires no special permissions for numbering itself but does use storage to remember preferences and optionally the tabs permission for its toolbar listing feature.

Users can access a toolbar button to list windows in their creation order and can manually trigger a renumber if window numbers become out of sync. This extension aids users who rely on consistent window order for productivity and integrates smoothly with Firefox's manifest v3 standards. Feedback is encouraged via email or the GitHub repository to improve compatibility, especially for Windows users.
