How to count the number of open Firefox browser tabs?

[Coldblackice]

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"?

Code: Select all

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

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