Review by FudgeFury

I am really enjoying this extension, however I have noticed that the number on the badger does not update back to 0 or no number when I go back to the homepage (default FireFox homepage). It will stay at whatever the number was on the previous website. When I open a new tab (opens default FireFox homepage), the icon resets back to no number.

I find this just a little bit annoying but it's not a big deal, though I'd prefer if the icon updated itself appropriately when I go back to the homepage.

**UPDATE** The icon actually does not update whenever you're on a website with no trackers unless you refresh the browser or open a new tab
