User Reviews

Count Tabs is praised for its simplicity and core function of counting tabs in a Firefox window, helping users manage their tab overload. However, multiple users mention the lack of customization such as font size and color, absence of clickable actions to view tab lists, inconsistent updating of the count, and performance issues with many tabs open. Many express a desire for more interactive functionality similar to other tab counters.
