User Reviews
Reviews praise Word Count for its simplicity and usefulness in counting words, especially for writing. Yet reliability is a major issue: many report it does nothing or fails to produce results, with Mac Firefox users affected. Some devices even chime but show no output. Accuracy is another concern, as it counts spaces between characters with no option to disable this. Overall, it is one of the few simple options that sometimes works, but reliability and accuracy problems are commonly cited. Pros
- Simple and easy to use.
- Works well when it functions, making it a reliable option among similar add-ons.
- Useful for counting words, helpful for writing or blogging.
Cons
- Often does not work at all; clicking or right-clicking yields no output.
- Notable compatibility issues on macOS Firefox; users report it failing there.
- Word counting can be inaccurate because it counts spaces between characters, with no option to disable spacing.

Is Word Count 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.
Word Count requires very minimum permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
- Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, 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.
Word Count has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
