That "+" doesn't inform how many windows are there. (33.38 KB, image/png)

That "+" doesn't inform how many windows are there.

I'm requesting an option that would replace the green "+" with the exact number of windows.
The "+" could be repurposed for when there's 100 windows or above, with "99+".

A use case for having numbers is when you have a normal and a private Firefox windows, and you have to go through those sites that opens pop up windows. Currently you'd only notice it when trying to switching between the private and normal windows, or even worse; you notice after closing the normal window, which makes the pop up overwrite your tabs for the next session.

Having numbers would show that there aren't just 2 windows.

Same situation happens when searching on Getty Images, clicking on an image from the results will open a pop up window.
