2024-04-01 Firefox user 18348244 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!
