Super helpful! Many thanks for sharing. Be sure to winnow your open tabs below your target threshold before enabling, otherwise anything over the target will be zapped (and seemingly gone forever). Despite that initial hiccup, I love it. Helps me keep a relatively narrow focus on browsing and research activities instead of having innumerable pending queues that are better managed with alt methods.

Hello, this extension is so good for me.
Thank you for developing it.
I wish you all the best.

Can please make it so I can only open 1 tab?
Edit: I'm going hardcore on this "1 tab" thing, I'm trying to use my pc only for watching classes and when I have two tabs I have the option to open social media on the second one, please. This is one of my favourite tabs, and the option to make turning off more difficult (like timeblocks or a waiting time to turn off)
Edit:Thank you so much, I'll be waiting for the waiting time option, love your work.

This add-on is wonderful. I am autistic and often lose track of how many tabs I have open, overwhelming my computer. My only recommendation for improvement is to add a waiting period to turn it off.

Fell in love with this plugin, prevents me from being an absolute tab hoarder. Thank you! :)

First time I've ever reviewed an extension. Absolutely absolutely love it! Keeps me very grounded :) Thank you!

Works Perfectly to get me to just stop being a little shit.

Greatest add-on that ever was

A happy face icon would be more accurate.

Does exactly what it's meant to do! I do have two personal suggestions, however:

The language of the settings, I think, should be changed, as they're a bit confusing at first. For starters, the "maximum number of tabs" is actually the tab number at which the extension will begin limiting; that is, I have the limit set to 11, but I can only have 10 tabs open at once. I feel that this should be changed so that the number represents exactly how many tabs you can have open at once.
Here are the ways I, personally, might change the rest of the language:
* "Above limit per window [if unchecked, applies globally]" -> "Apply tab limits to individual windows (as opposed to browser-wide limits)"
* "When exceeded, remove tab:" -> "When tab limit is exceeded..."
* "Newest" -> "remove most recently opened tab"
* "Least recently used" -> "remove least recently used tab"
* "Left-most" -> "remove left-most tab"
* "Right-most" -> "remove right-most tab"

* "And play sound:" -> "Play this sound when I try to exceed my tab limit:"
* "No sound" -> "Don't play a sound when I try to exceed my tab limit"

These may seem pretty pedantic, but I was a bit confused when I first saw the options. Finally, there exists a work around that should probably be addressed: if you set the tab limit to only apply to each individual window, you can open a new window and then drag the tab into the original one, thus exceeding your tab limit from that window. In my opinion, a global tab limit should be the default.

Awesome work!

I am autistic as well and find my self getting many tabs open without even realizing it. On my phone I had 500 open. My computer was 50. It slows it down alot. I downloaded this and it makes my computer and phone much faster since i downloaded this addon and the sound lets me know theres too many tabs open and i should delete some. Its really helpful. Thank you for making this.

thank you very much for this wonderful and useful addon

A charming (and useful!) add-on, I love the story behind it. Thanks Rudy!

Limit Tabs version 2.2.6 with Firefox 108.0 here. I created an account so that I could slap a five star rating to this add-on.

"Limit Tabs" is very simple and effective. Two weeks ago I had +2000 tabs open (Btw I'm using "Tree Style Tab" add-on). I forced myself to close unnecessary tabs with Limit Tabs, by lowering and lowering the max number of tabs, step by step. Now my max is 100 tabs. Quite a decrease!

(Btw another useful add-on to really clean up the tabtree is add-on called "Close Similar Tabs")

Now, I plan to stay under 100 tabs and Limit Tabs will help me with that too. Thanks!

ASD/ADHD here, I guess no surprise there. Recommending this add-on to anyone who needs push and encouragement in control over chaos.
