posted 3 years agoDid you try changing the preferences in about:addons? There you can customize the colors so that they match your theme.
So please get your facts straight before criticizing. Actually, it was me who designed and implemented the WebExtension API that Firefox provides to add-ons so that they can change the text color of the badge! See https://bugzil.la/1424620
On the other hand, I agree that it would be great to automatically pick the colors depending on whether the theme is light or dark. But, as said in issue #15, the problem is that I can't properly do it with current APIs. So in https://bugzil.la/1484840 I proposed a new API, but I don't have time to implement it and convince Mozilla to accept it.
Edit: OK, turns out the problem is about the popup, not the counter icon. That's different than the existing bug report from 2018, and seems fixable. I was not aware of it, thanks for the report! Sorry I was too quick to jump to conclusions.
This problem wasn't actually my fault, since I was just relying on the browser to provide the correct text and background colors. But I have addressed it in version 3.3.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ScienceDiscoverer, 2 years agoSuper useful for us, tab hoarders with 250+ tabs opened... This is kind of sad, but this extension is not to blame!. I recommend moving it from the address bar level to tabs strip and disabling it vis userChrome.css when you have non-overflown tabs!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12648956, 2 years agoCool little helper. Informs me with the exact number of tabs open. THIS is what I wanted.
An improvement would be if I could define a number for alert notification. (even wording I enter :)
example: 20+ Hello, 40+ WaytoGo!, 60+ Caution!, 80+ Nuts!
I am at 108 right now, I need to come down. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14019718, 3 years agoWorks as expected and the best tab counting add-ons I tried out
- Rated 5 out of 5by RMDevCorp, 3 years agoGreat light weight extension for those who multitask and have hundreds(sometimes thousands of tabs open). Still some "customizablity" I think could be improved in regards to sizing the font or perhaps changing the size. It is very functional as is however as is, and have been using it for a long time after relacing another tab counter. Thank you oriol.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ross Z, 3 years agoHonestly, this seems to be one of the better tab counter addons on AMO... I've just been through testing about 15 of them, so I should know.
Unlike many addons on the site, the author has a very good description and screenshots and does not skimp on features.
In fact, the only thing this addon doesn't have that I really wish it did is some way to increase the font size (the *only* tab counter addon I found that has a larger font size was 'Tab Count Icon by lllusion3418' but it doesn't have as many options as this one does). I'm viewing from about 10ft away on a 50" TV set to 1920x1080. From there, TCI's font appears ~ 2x larger than TCP's. I can make both out but only just barely on TCP's.
Overall, a very solid addon. I hope increased font sizes become a thing but due to shortage of addons with this feature, I can only assume that it is difficult to do from WebExtensions. If I wasn't holding out for that or I could get me some robot eyes, then I would have no issue calling it the best one on AMO :-)
