User Reviews

Users appreciate Tab Counter for its simplicity, effective tab counting, ease of use, and background color customization. It supports multiple languages and is generally lightweight. However, multiple users note the icon and font size are too small, especially on newer Firefox versions and large displays. Some report it incorrectly shows the tab count of only the active window across all windows, which can be confusing. Customization is limited, focusing mainly on background color, and the tooltip lacks meaningful information.
Pros
  • Simple and straightforward functionality, effectively counting tabs.
  • Allows customization of background color.
  • User-friendly and well-positioned icon near the URL bar.
  • Supports multiple languages.
  • Lightweight and fast, comparable to other similar add-ons.
Cons
  • Icon and font size are too small, especially noticeable on newer Firefox Quantum versions and large screens.
  • Counts only tabs in the active window, but sometimes this count is shown across all windows causing confusion.
  • Limited customization options beyond background color (e.g., no foreground color or tab type selection).
  • Tooltip provides little additional useful information.

Is Tab counter Safe?

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.

Tab counter requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
