Works great on Mac, and Linux.
For those having issues accessing the shortcut because it conflicts with one previously set by your OS, or another extension, you can manage the shortcuts yourself - just go to your extensions page, click on the cogwheel (tools for all add-ons), and then select the "Manage Extensions Shortcut"
For those who don't see the toolbar icon, remember it may be hidden in the extensions icon (puzzle piece), if you haven't already opted to pin Window Titler to the toolbar.

tl;dr: does not work on Linux
Longer version: the two ways to activate this add-on do not work:
Toolbar button (t icon) -- does not appear when Firefox is running (Debian Linux with KDE).
Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Alt-T) that invokes Window Titler is already reserved to invoke the prefered Terminal App on most (probably all) version of Linux.
Suggested resolution by Developer: make the shortcut configurable. There's a good chance this will solve the toolbar icon problem
