This might be a longshot, but would it be possible for AHK to count the number of Firefox browser tabs currently open?

You could cycle through the windows/tabs and count. Probably fails when you have two tabs on the same page - here is some code you might be able to use:

Alternatively you might try with Mozrepl (=FF addon + google the AHK library for it) and some javascript http://www.benjiegillam.com/2008/09/eve ... have-open/

Thanks, much obliged for that.

I'm going to check up on the Mozrepl when I get home from work tonight, but do you think it might be possible to do this on an "OS" level, so to speak -- whether through some third party Firefox API, or perhaps "peeking" into Firefox's memory (rather than having to manually paginate through hundreds of tabs every time a count is done)?

Code: Select all

list := Acc_Get("Object", "application.tool_bar3.page_tab_list", 0, "ahk_class MozillaWindowClass")
MsgBox % list.accChildCount-1

for posterity, this could be done more effectively using UIA.

wow! this is totally unbelievable!

can you also create a list of each open tab "title"?

for each, tab in Acc_Children(list)
   t .= tab.accName(0) "`n"
MsgBox %t%

Hello.
I tried this for Firefox 102.13.0esr (64 бита) and it doesn't work, maybe some update is needed?

list := Acc_Get("Object", "application.tool_bar2.page_tab_list", 0, "ahk_class MozillaWindowClass")
MsgBox % list.accChildCount-1

Thanks for the quick response!)
I tried but got an empty msgbox
Do you have any idea why this might be happening? and how to find a solution?

Why should I update my web browser?

I don't want to use the latest version, because sometimes add-ons stop working after updating Firefox for a few weeks/months - until the creators fix them.
And on the latest version - it's the same as with often not working add-ons. And if use Firefox several versions ago, then add-ons almost always normally work)

For me worked

Code: Select all

list := Acc_Get("Object", "4.14.1", 0, "ahk_class MozillaWindowClass")
;list := Acc_Get("Object", "окно.приложение Orders - Mozilla Firefox.список табуляций", 0, "ahk_class MozillaWindowClass")
MsgBox % list.accChildCount-1

In older version it is ..."Object", "4.21.1",... so i think it can be modified in future versions like "4.var.1"
i have cyrillic ui, and think this is issue why application.tool_bar2.page_tab_list and application.tool_bar3.page_tab_list do not work for me(

managed to set with the text for cyrillic ui

Code: Select all

list := Acc_Get("Object", "приложение.панель инструментов2.список табуляций", 0, "ahk_class MozillaWindowClass")

Question, comes out the text is determined by Role, but there are many Role = tool_bar but they are have different Name. So i wonder are there way to specify a Name for search instead Role?
