Unavailable feature on Firefox

Please note, that there is no counter in the badge icon in Firefox-based browsers as the browser does not have that API, only Chrome.

Watch out for the browser restrictions!

Both host permissions and the activeTab permission have exceptions for some domains. Content scripts are blocked from executing on these domains, for example, to protect the user from an extension escalating privileges through special pages.

In Firefox, this includes the following domains:

• accounts-static.cdn.mozilla.net
• accounts.firefox.com
• addons.cdn.mozilla.net
• addons.mozilla.org
• api.accounts.firefox.com
• content.cdn.mozilla.net
• discovery.addons.mozilla.org
• install.mozilla.org
• oauth.accounts.firefox.com
• profile.accounts.firefox.com
• support.mozilla.org
• sync.services.mozilla.com

Other browsers have similar restrictions over the websites extensions can be installed from. For example, access to chrome.google.com is restricted in Chrome.
