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.

Pros

Simple and to the point, provides a tab count easily visible next to the URL bar.
Works smoothly for basic tab counting without complications.
Has a clean and preferred design by some users.
Helps users keep track of tab over-population and manage tabs accordingly.
Supports high numbers of tabs and is appreciated for its core functionality.

Cons

Lacks customization options such as font size, color, and click actions.
Sometimes the count does not update immediately or consistently.
No interactive features like displaying a tab list on clicking the icon.
Causes performance issues (e.g., Firefox hangs or high memory usage) when many tabs are open, as reported by some users.
Only counts tabs in the current browser window, no cross-window tab counts or summaries.

Extension safety

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.

Count Tabs requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
