User reviews

Users find 'Merge Windows' to be a simple, effective, and much-needed tool for consolidating multiple Firefox windows quickly. It is praised for its reliability and practical benefits, especially after heavy browsing sessions. However, multiple users mention difficulties due to unclear usage instructions, absence of a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental merges, and missing UI elements like toolbar buttons or menu integration, which reduce discoverability and ease of use.
