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!

2024-03-11	minecraft_cat	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.

2023-12-09	Firefox user 13289695	I just installed it. Sometimes I have over 1000 tabs open. I set the limit to 100 but the problem is I can change this at any time. Would be great if I could not remove the limit without permission. I wonder if there is a way to give one total freedom on one's system but lock down some specific things. One could always just remove the extension, or wipe firefox and reinstall. Nothing you can do about this, the solution must be implemented at a far deeper level. It will still be helpful as it is, just as a reminder. "Freedom is a pain in the Burridan's Ass".
