Tab Numbers troch piyush

A lightweight Firefox extension that displays [1]-[9] prefixes in tab titles for easy keyboard navigation using Ctrl+Number.

Features:
✅ Clear, readable [1] Page Title format
✅ Supports tabs 1-9 (matches Firefox's Ctrl+N shortcuts)
✅ Includes pinned tabs in numbering
✅ Cross-window tab dragging support
✅ Automatically renumbers when tabs are moved, closed, or created
✅ Privacy-focused: No data collection, no network requests

Installation
From Firefox Add-ons (Recommended)

Github Repo for the code: https://github.com/piyushjain9399/firefox-tab-numbers
How It Works
The extension uses Firefox's scripting.executeScript() API to modify document.title on each tab. It listens to all tab events (created, removed, moved, attached, detached) to keep numbers synchronized.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Shortcut Action
Ctrl+1 Switch to tab 1
Ctrl+2 Switch to tab 2
... ...
Ctrl+9 Switch to tab 9

Note: These are Firefox's built-in shortcuts - the extension just makes it easier to identify which tab corresponds to which number!

Known Limitations
- Some tabs cannot display the number prefix due to Firefox's security model:
- about: pages (settings, debugging, etc.)
- moz-extension:// pages
- Firefox's built-in PDF viewer
- New Tab page
These tabs will still work with Ctrl+N shortcuts - they just won't show the [N] prefix.

✅ Only reads tab titles and positions
❌ Does NOT access URLs or browsing history
