Great addon, i used Sessionbuddy until now for this, but after their last update the icon no longer displays the number, so i did need something that does that. And this extension does exactly that. Can really recommend this one.

not quite sure whats happening, i have about 2000 tabs open but its only reporting 7 total, even though it says the current window is 150. worked flawlessly before today. possibly a new update causing issues?
